Scam Description

Brian knows exactly what he’s doing and does it proudly. 
I didn’t want to write this but after waiting 5 months for delivery of 2 pieces of jewelry, going through every excuse in his catalog of why he can’t deliver on his promises, and now just straight ignoring ALL forms of communication, I know there must be one person who can save their hard earned money and not give it up to this low life scam artist. 
Brian and I know eachother personally. We’ve hung out with eachother at other friends’ birthdays and I was even over at Brian’s apartment on his birthday. We had long talks about religion, doing good business, and what it means to be a decent human being. The guy has no morals and will do anything to steal your money. 
What’s even more concerning is his reputation among not only friends, but also, REAL professionals working in the jewelry industry. I’ve had 4 personal friends who either bought jewelry from Brian or loaned him some money. All 4 of them got the same treatment as I did. Oversold on his great work (which we all wanted his business to grow/get a homie discount so we gave him business), for some reason shipment gets delayed, this happens over a course of a couple months, then dead silent after he runs out of excuses to put together. The prominent diamond dealers in DTLA won’t deal with him. He’s like the guy whose photo gets taken at a 7-11 for stealing a Big Gulp and Chips. Not Wanted lol
Steer clear of this guy.. He has no respect for your relationship with him. They say scam artists scam the people within their own circle. I’ve proved it to be true. Now i’m having to write this review on a previous friend of mine who I wanted to become successful. At least I have a story to tell my future kids. LESSON LEARNED.
Brian, you continue to kill your reputation. Seems like you’ll be moving out of LA soon.
