To be honest, I stood up because thief Wu owes me money. I had a fight with her over money. Other than that, I may not be concerned with her thieving in tax. I am a Chinese American. I cried out as a victim and I haven't been in a position to cry out for others. So here I am. I decided to stand up and fight her for all those parents from whom she has stolen.

In August 2009, I got an email from a Chinese doctor in a Chinese school. She was promoting thief Wu. Since then, my daughter had been in thief Wu's place for 3 years.

My observations of the three years:

1. We paid thief Wu around $12, 000 for the three years for extreme low level training. On each check, we wrote "Wu Yan" as recipient. She cashed out all checks except depositing three of them worth $1800 into her Capital One account. That means the $10, 000 I paid her has no trace of income in her bank record.

2. She refused to give us her SS# to let us fill out a childcare expense form. But she did release that number both to her Russian customer and to customers of other nationalities. (Comment: as a sole propretitor, she can apply for an EIN, but she refused to do it. She doesn't want a tax id from the government other than her social.)

3. Some parents informed her that they would move their daughters away to other clubs. She immediately dropped those parents off her mailing list, even though their daughters, who had prepaid their courses, were still in her place and hadn't finished the term.

4. Each term she sent out a contract with "All Star...", which never registered with Fairfax county court house. In that contract, she asked for a team fee ahead of time, a registration fee, and a 20% one-year tuition fee. By the time I told her that we would drop my daughter off her program, we paid her $2, 185 already. She refused to give back any money. Instead she claimed that we owe her money by signing that contract.

Since 2009, she used the contract signed by us to claim that she would not give back refund to anybody who dropped out of her program.

Case 1, a lady paid her over $1, 000 and didn't let her daughter attend one day of her program. She kept the money.

Case 2, a lady paid her $1, 400 and her daughter was there only 2 weeks when some bigger kids' rope-slapped her in the face. That girl was only 7 years old, and her mother was afraid of this happening again. Therefore, she dropped off her daughter right way. Thief Wu called her husband and her friend demanded the money to which the customer was allegedly committed to pay by signing the contract.

Case 3, We paid her $2, 185 by the time we told her that we want to drop. She claimed that we signed a contract with her. We owed her all the money despite dropping after two months.

All her basis lies in the original contract. Here, I have the copy of the contract. The audience here who are studying law should take a look at it how thief Wu's contract was written. The company name has no "Doing Business As" registered in Fairfax County Court House as of the time of signing. As the other party to the contract, she has no signature on it.

I called Fairfax County government. I informed them that Thief Wu's has no court record on her business. I was told they would send a person to her business' location and inform her to register with the Fairfax County Court House.

Until I wrote this article here, thief Wu still didn't register her trade name with Fairfax County Court House. The phone number is
[protected]. The link is http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/courts/circuit/trade_name_info.htm. One can check it out to confirm it.

All three cases I mentioned above had contract signed before her business trade name registration date. But this thief refused to give us our money back. She stole thousands from us.

it is the Chinese people who didn't speak as loudly as I did. They harbored resentment and left. Therefore, thief Wu can continue her game until the day I write this article.

This thief's contract has mistakes other than no business registration. Nobody has even questioned it until I demanded it be examined. Also, in case 1, the lady should have made big noise and alerted us. But she chose silence. It let Thief Wu continue stealing from us until 2012. Also, it seems there is competition among parents. I was informed that the case 1 lady persuaded other lady to leave by being afraid that the other lady's daughter may perform better than her daughter in case she stayed with Thief Wu. If one is silent, there certainly are rumors around until one speaks. I wish the case 1 lady would speak as loudly about Thief Wu as I did.

People in this community are more Chinese than any other nationality. The Eastern Europeans occupy only 15 %. But when I talk to them, they will say: "I am sure that Wu is stealing in tax..." For Chinese people, when you work full time and receive pay documentation through a W-2 form, have you ever questioned that this thief worked part time, overcharging and stealing? Does she pay taxes or not? How much did she pay? Don't you think that her income should come from our bank record instead of her income receipt? That is what the Fairfax County government informed me. They took her income receipt. And this is only can be verified by her bank record. She only deposited some of them. She cashed out most. Where is her bank receipt?

Kids like social activities. They don't have much competition sense in mind as we adults have. I always think that my kid enjoyed what she was doing there until one day, she told me she really wanted to quit because it was so boring. By that moment, I understood that she went there only because she had friends and I let her to be there. It is one lesson for me to learn what I am paying for.

I don't mean to degrade Chinese people. The way this thief operates is an individual matter. However, that she can go that long without getting caught is wrong with Chinese people. Why should people just leave without making a sound? Why does nobody come over and say, “Stop Thief Wu!” She is the one who has no ethical value in her beliefs. She loves money. She does everything for money. She has no appreciation for our welfare, or for our parents’ well-being. She steals. She still does.

Come on, thief Wu, We have no intention to donate our money to buy your coffin for your next life. We need this money for our children in this life. Until we get paid, we will make a loud noise and let your children know how their mother steals from our kids. We go after you no matter where you go.

I hope that my voice is being heard. Parents, we need your support.
1. Please don't sign up at Thief Wu's shop.
2. Please don't write Thief Wu one check. Does she pay taxes or not?
3. Please check your bank account and send all your bank record to IRS to tell them how much you paid to Thief Wu all these years. Send them copies of your check-- that is her income proof.

I know that I ask too much of you, but if you really like rhythmic gymnastics, then try "Capital Gymnastics" in Darnestown, MD 20874 where they produced the first US Olympian. Try "Gymnastics World" in Woodbridge, VA. They have level 10 students there and their fee is 30% cheaper than Thief Wu's.

Thief Wu stings. We regret to have met such a person in our life. We should stop her.

Hi,
I am also one of parents who can not take prepaid money back even my kid did not attend any class except trial one. She does not respond to emails and accused me as a liar on the phone conversation and blamed me disrespect and harassment of her professionalism.
I also want join to all other parents whose right violated and need to stop her.
Otherwise she will continue to steal other's harding working money which was paid for their kids' activities.
