I've unfortunately dealt with a lot of people like Adam. I was lucky enough to foresee the potential for trouble and only paid him a deposit on a multi-grafted tree. I am certain that the excuse in his recent e-mail is not accurate, whether loosely based on truth or completely fabricated.

I was initially heartened to see the e-mail in my inbox a few days ago and the refund today. However, almost immediately after I received an e-mail from the Alabama Office of the Attorney General requesting that I confirm that I had received the refund he promised he would deliver. Although the initial letter from them months ago indicated that they were not going to investigate further, perhaps they received enough complaints to move forward. Regardless, I suspect I would not have received a refund had they not been involved.

They asked that I have any other parties who would like a refund from Adam contact them directly. Please message me if you would like the contact information.

*********************UPDATE ON ADAM AKA AKME GARDENS ***********************************

He just texted me saying he was in the hospital the entire time!

I had a feeling that is where he was!

He recovering and trying to catch up with orders now with help with a family member!

He said he will start shipping soon!

Uh huh.

I picked mine up at Champa. I'd sell you mine, which is in a 15 gal pot, but I just heavily pruned it to keep size down so it's awfully ugly.

I ended up following through on what John B posted and submitted a complaint a few weeks ago.

I did the same in an attempt to prevent others from being scammed. Sadly, I just received a response letter from them last week saying that since Adam didn’t respond to the complaint that they have no jurisdiction on the matter. They recommended consulting with a lawyer or taking the matter to small claims court. Not worth my time.

Unfortunately, this is why people like Adam are able to get away with criminal behavior. I’m sure he meant well initially, but it’s truly remarkable how many small business owners overcommit, underperform, then throw out a thousand excuses while they split with the money.
