Jeff Swiecicki / JBS Realty - Fraudulent Realtor and Property Manager
Hey all I'm an investor in the Cleveland area and just wanted to warn you all about a fraudster named Jeff Swiecicki. A realtor who used to have a PM company called "JBS Realty" until this month.
He used to manage 8 of my properties and is currently refusing to pay out multiple 5-figures worth of rents/property reserves/security deposits/unpaid utility bills owed. Jeff makes up repeated excuses and strange reasons as to why he can't/won't pay (i.e. family emergency, bank is rejecting wires, software/website is buggy, telling investors to go "f*ck their mother").
I'm in a group with 30 other investors who were also scammed by him. There is likely more as this is just a few of the people who know about the group through word-of-mouth.
I'm making this post to hopefully get it seen when people search his name, so they avoid working with him and getting scammed too. Happy to answer any questions about the situation.
Please be safe and stay away from him, or any companies he is involved with.

Quote from @JEFF SWIECICKI:
Mr. Anthony,
Per my previous numerous communications, JBS is in the process of finalizing all accounts including yours. Thank you for your continued patience.
I would contact your bank and make sure they no longer allow for it to be deducted.
