What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

So um... The owner of the company I bought my ZHP from in October last year showed up at my work today and threatened to sue me if I don't take down the 2/5 rating I gave his business on Yelp. Wtf.

I argued with him for about 7 minutes that I wasn't malicious or lying and that he really was a sleaze ball before I gave up. Completely creeped out.

Checking with my local police about what I can do and at what level does he cross into illegal actions.

Checked yelp today. Somebody else posted 6 weeks ago that he contacted him about suing over a bad yelp review. Looks like this guy is a complete but job.

He has no legal action he can take upon you for your yelp review. It's a complete scare tactic. I've been threatened like that in the past. You can actually take legal action against him for threatening you, but it's not worth your time or effort. Don't let him bully you around buddy.

Oh I'm not worried about any legal action from him. He's got nothing. It's a joke. I'm just creeped out by the fact that he tracked down where I work (not like that's hard these days...) and confronted me. He has my personal info, like where I live.

That's definitely a bit unsettling. I'd be worried about him slashing my tires or something :eek :mafia

Without proof of any sorts, it'll be difficult to take legal action against him. But once you have that, you can make him pay. He seems like a bag of douche. If you were in Texas and he set foot on your property, you are the law (to a certain point)! Those encounters are exciting for me, I never feel bad for throwing hands on a-holes that harass me to a point where they show up at my place of residence. Good luck with this idiot man.

If you can Stephen, add to your review how he harassed you on your review and give him a lower rating as a result.

Maybe even get a restraining order against him....

I do have CCTV video from him showing up at my work. It doesn't prove anything beyond him being there, but it's a good start should things escalate. I don't plan on any legal action at this point.

I'm debating if I should update the review or not. It'll only escalate things with him. Clearly he's mentally unstable in some way. Not sure I want to deal w/ that. I believe my current review was a strong warning for any prospective customers. His whole deal was "go read your review and change it, because you'll see how manipulative it is." Today I went and read it again and I wouldn't change anything I said on there; I said he's a sleazy sales guy and told future customers to do their homework on buying a car like I did.

I'll be talking to the local police tomorrow about what the next steps are. Restraining order was definitely already on my mind.
