continued from page 9 Bankoff and UltraGuard

Please see page 6A supplemental

For those who haven't paid attention to Mr. Bankoff's primary web site recently, or the other 4 sites that I am aware of, which only lead the visitor back to the primary web site, should copy and paste the following into your browser: poolrestoration.com/sickman.html, (www.) no longer necessary. I would recommend you print this one.

A very short response by number:

1. Probably true

2. Who cares what you drive, but probably true.

3. My volume is under $1,000,000. and I am positive your earnings are many times what mine are

4. Wrong. I have paid IRS what I owe, on time, since I started UGlassIt 11 years ago, but, according to your Accountant and two separate investigative reporting organizations, you have not and do not pay the IRS.

5. Wrong. I too can afford to live wherever I prefer, but due to a health problem with one of our children, my wife and I have chosen to remain in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

6. At best, you do not live in a "high priced" condo. Notwithstanding the Google map on Insider Info Page 8, additional research on Google did disclose a "low priced" condo that actually shows your web site name: poolrestoration.com and 2 other business in different apartments.
   
   This Google Earth map showed the value of this "condo" to be $117,000. for one bedroom and $129,000. for two bedrooms. The location, only blocks from Philadelphia, is in a depressed area. Condominium prices in Philadelphia and the decent areas in the suburbs start at over $300,000.

Miscellaneous - I did not state:

• Mr. Bankoff lived on a back street.

• this was the actual apartment where this farce is operated from, only the building.

The Amazing Part of this Ken Bankoff Diatribe!

For the past six years, poolrestoration.com and the other four sites (under misleading names) that direct visitors to poolrestoration.com have stated, unequivocally, that Mr. Bankoff was the "Manufacturer" of UltraGuard.

Now, suddenly, he admits that he manufactures nothing. Here is the quote from the aforementioned web site (poolrestoration.com/sickman.html):

Just imagine if you were one of his 3,000 customers, who had invested an average of over $4,000.00 each, thinking they were buying from a legitimate manufacturer, only to learn that all the so-called "guarantees" they relied upon when purchasing were from a "manufacturer's rep.". A manufacturer's rep. that already filed bankruptcy once before, in the pool industry at the time, and will either file again soon or just disappear (he thinks).

In case anyone fails to remember, here is one more quote from http://www.poolrestoration.com/lowfailurerate3.htm

Does everyone still remember this farce on the home page?

Ken Bankoff and the Real Manufacturer(s)

Within the next few days I will, hopefully, finish this with some eye-opening information about Mr. Bankoff, and the real story about how he got "so rich-so fast". Although I have no problems with the ethics of the real manufacturer(s), his challenge will be answered, in the written words of said manufacturer(s).

 Stay tuned...
