If any readers of scamion.com also keep up with those in the rarified air of Philanthropy.com (insert guffaw here), you might have noticed a rather sizeable donation made by Dennis Troesh to Loma Linda University Health a few years back for the building of a new children’s hospital.
Dennis Troesh (and to be fair, along with his wife) donated $100 million to the cause. Check it out here: (https://www.philanthropy.com/article/No-24-DennisCarol/151811)
Just tugs at your heartstrings, doesn’t it? To quote from the Philanthropy.com article: “The Troeshes volunteer at the hospital, and their son-in-law once worked there. They said they are donating the money not only because many of their grandchildren were born at the medical center, which is near Los Angeles, but also because they felt a responsibility to the area.”
Such a feel-good story, right? Don’t be fooled. When it comes to Troesh, there’s always a deeper play involved. This is not straight-up philanthropy. This was done to provide a sizeable federal tax deduction for Troesh. Imagine wiping off $100 million under your “charitable donations” line on your tax return.
Troesh is a billionaire. His worth was estimated by Forbes in 2012 at $2 billion. So make no mistake, he’s a player.
But it seems like every deal he does is with a Machiavellian ulterior motive in play. He gets the upper hand, largely because of his blinding wealth culled from his lucrative concrete business, and then proceeds to screw whomever he’s working with. And I use the word “screw” consciously as a pejorative because Troesh always comes out on top no matter what the project, to the detriment at times of anyone else involved.
Average cost per cubic yard for concrete these days is $90 per. And that doesn’t include delivery charges, pouring charges, slab work, site prep, etc. You get the picture. The markup on concrete (materials dug from the ground, like cement, aggregate material such as sand or fine gravel or pebbles, plus water) is pretty significant.
Think about paying $18 for a plate of pasta at a local restaurant – it’s one of the highest markup items on the menu. I mean, come on, you’re literally consuming pennies-worth of pasta and sauce. It’s like that with Troesh’s Robertson’s Ready Mix, a leading producer of ready-mix concrete products. They are in Las Vegas as well as a number of counties in California.
So beware of Dennis “I Always Get the Upper Hand Because I Have Way More Money Than You” Troesh. Think twice about engaging with him at any level on any project. You most certainly will come out on the short end of the stick.
While driving on the freeway next to a Robertsons Ready Mix truck, a rock came off the side and cracked my windshield on oour new Ford Fusion we just purchased this day. I contacted Robertsons Ready Mix and they wanted to transfer me to a voicemail box to leave our info, i said okay.
Their outgoing voice message asked me to leave my info and a "claim form" will be sent out on Fridays only. I did not and hung up because that did not sound correct. Im a decent researcher and after diging quite deeply into these types of incidents with Robertsons Ready Mix I was astonshished to find hundreds of people this same thing has happened to. After reasearching deeper I was able to contact 12 of them as to their own stories regarding Robertsons Ready Mix.
This is how I uncovered this "claim Letter" they send out after leaving your voicemail, all 12 of these people I contacted emailed me their letters and the same exact thing happened to all of them. The letter states that they are to mail it within 10 days of the date stamp on the letter, completed back to them. It asks for your insurance info and the info about the incident.
This is all in a veiled attempt to seem legitamate, but at the bottom above the signature line its has check boxes that basically keep you from filining any legal motions against them and they even in fact caused nightmares for 7 of these people I contacted. They threatened to sue them and verbally usd vulgar language at them. Guess what?? All 12 people were sent the same exact response letter ( they sent me those as well) stating that "AFTER CAREFUL REVIEW, ROBERTSON'S DENIES ANY LIABILITY REGARDING YOUR WINDSHIELD CLAIM". What a scam! I cant believe it!
Obviously I never left my info with Robertsons, and it turns out this was a blessing. After contacting a law firm, It turns out I have many rights because I have hard evidence to support my claim. Lets just say after I pulled over, another car pulled over to make sure we were okay because they saw this event happen and me swerve.
This good samaritan had a dashcam and captured the whole incident. I had the video analyzed and clearly shows the rock hitting my windshield!
We saved for over a year for the down payment on this car. We are not wealthy people but pay our bilss on time. My Wife and I lost our premature twins a month after birth this past February. This was going to be a surprise for her when I got home with it, she had no idea that I was at the dealer picking it up. I wanted to do something nice for her because she has been traumatized by the loss of our babies. I brought her a crar home with a huge cracked windshield that she could not drive legally. I took us 2 months to save enough money to cover our $500 co-pay and have it replaced. What an ordeal!!!
Well, the law firm has contacted over 200 other drivers with the exact same issues, a class action lawsuit will soon be filed against Robertsons Ready Mx for this scam.
As for me, the law firm will be filing a seperate lawsuit to recover time lost while not being able to use our new car, the co-pay and lost wages for not being able to go to work multiple days because I missed the bus I took for 2 months.
