NEVER HIRE THIS "EnglishTutoringSeattle by Robert Ammacucci( not real Name) his real name is Robert J. Abalos" TUTOR, READ here WHY!
See more about him: http://robertabalosrevealed.blogspot.com/
Before I hired him (Robert Ammacucci) he sent me a lot of text messages about his experience and how he is responsible and does everything on time. Although, I sent him all of the work that needed to be done and he said that it's easy for him and it will take him no more that 3 days; additionally, at the day (May 27, 2011) when I hired him, he promised that all of the work will be done by Tuesday, May 31.2011 by 5PM. Sadly on Tuesday, May 31. 2011 I ask him when I would get my papers, he didn't respond to my calls, texts and emails, so I had to call him from a different number. When I called him from a different number, he answered and said that he needed more time because there was a lot of work and it was hard. I told him, "ok, how much time do you need", he said that it would be done by Wednesday 12pm. On June 01, 2011 he said the same thing, he said "you will get everything by tomorrow I promise", but I never received anything from him to this day.
This was his last email to me: "We provided you with part of your assignment and you want a full refund. Sir, you are the scam artist. I was going to refund half your money until you started issuing pointless threats and acting like a jerk, calling and texting me repeatedly when you know I am with students because I told you so. We earned every dime you paid us and you are not getting a refund. SORRY.
Further emails, phone calls, and text messages will not be returned. If you come to my office I will have security escort you out of the building.
This situation is completely your own making and I will not listen to your constant demands any longer."
WHEN I ASKED FOR SOME REFUND, HE SAID "NO REFUND AT ALL".
HE SENT ME ONLY ONE PARTIALLY CORRECTED PAPER, WHICH I had to correct AND SEND TO MY TEACHER AGAIN BECAUSE THERE WERE A LOT OF MISTAKES.
Though, if you need more evidences please email me AND I will send you with all of his emails before and after I hired him.
Now, I lost a lot of money, and have to spend more money on law suits. SO, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE SAME SITUATION LIKE ME PLEASE THINK BEFORE HIRING HIM.

I can't for the life of me understand why Robert Abalos is not in jail. He's stolen from people under various false identities, ripped off and threatened scores of customers, offered products that don't exist, lied to the courts, and that's all we KNOW about!
This is all the more reason for this blog to stay up and running. (Thanks again Ines) We now know another of Abalos's aliases. Maybe if we shout it loud enough we can warn potential future victims. I feel bad for the kid that got ripped off but he should have done some investigating before handing over his money. One of these days Abalos will be put in jail. What a scumbag!
Note the bullsh*t testimonials with no last names on his website:

Isn't this the same thing he criticizes the evil real estate gurus for?
And, note "27 years experience" and "we".
Here's the scammer's latest Seattle craigslist ad, posted today (June 9th):
http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/wet/2430227491.html
It even includes his mugshot, though it's a pity there's no inmate number underneath.
FYI, there's a link to notify craigslist whenever their system is being used for a scam. You'll find that link on this page:
http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams
That englishtutoringseattle.com site is funny. He claims to provide proofreading services yet every page has a typo or grammatical error. Also love the fact that all services must be paid for 100% in advance before work starts -- not even a 50%/50% split. All of the risk is on the customer. Nice.
Finally, if Robert Abalos is a successful real estate investor and author with his book sold in over 91 countries, why is he providing English tutoring services for just $30 per hour? Wouldn't a successful real estate investor laugh at those earnings and just focus on doing deals instead? Is it possible that Robert Abalos has never been a successful real estate investor at all? That it's all been a charade? Say it isn't so Robert!!!!!
