In 2017, I shipped some goods from my home in Joliet, Illinois to Shenzhen, China through a website. When my things were delivered to Hong Kong and I had to go there to get them, I posted some truthful reviews about the bad service I had received from ShippingQuest. Never did I imagine what was to come. The people behind the website threatened to ruin my life and reputation and to close the school for special needs children I own. And then they actually purchased my name as a domain and put up a website with a picture of me stolen from one of my social media profiles under the words "Erotic Massage" and surrounded by sexually suggestive photos, as though I were a prostitute rather than a special education teacher.
In January 2018, Ford Banister won the maximum damages award possible under the primary law I sued under: $100,000 plus costs and attorney's fees. You can read about my case, Sulda v. ShippingQuest, et al, Case No. 17-cv-2350 (N.D. Ill) at the website I put up to share my story and warn others about this fraudulent shipping service that uses intimidation and identity theft to try to silence its critics: www.shippingquestscams.com. Ford Banister continues to defend my right to speak freely. He recently answered a frivolous complaint filed by the people behind ShippingQuest to shut down my website. Ford Banister is also helping me collect the judgment that ShippingQuest so far refuses to pay. If you are victim of an identity theft like I was, Ford Banister will doggedly and tenaciously pursue your case. I highly recommend Ford Banister.
