Former Employee

I was a part time PM hired to push completion. As time went on and I stared asking questions, I was fired. I wanted to n ow where the money was the vendors needed, why the time for each project was soo extended and how he wanted to correct that and when we could take about the phases of each and every project. He hold disappear for weeks and have emergency after emergency and would often call me late at night or weekends bc his clients were angry. It was a fire fight at every turn with him. He never paid on time and still owes me for $1600+ of hours worked to get his dishonest and disaterous company in order. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I have had multiple ppl who bought signs from him ask me to join them in a class action law suit. He has something else going on with all that money- he gets cash up front but only gets paid once the project is complete by the loan company... idk how it works but it seems like a multi layer scam. Be very careful bc he is rebranding by it's the same guy, same poor service and same low quaity/high cost product.

Scam Artist

I had to hunt Orbin “Buddy” Swisshelm down after he disappeared with my money for 6 weeks. He’s a loser, lier and a scam artist. I did get my money back. I’m sure most people are not that lucky! Stay away!

A slick salesman by the name of Darian A. , that is all he put on my contract, came into my place of business and sold me on a Lease Rip-off program. I was in the market to purchase a exterior sign for my business. I repeatedly asked him the sale price of the sign he wanted to manufacture for the front of our business. He never gave that price to me, but just insisted that I could lease it for 36 months and own it. Against my better judgement I agreed to do it. The sign he sold me was probably worth about $3 maybe $4,000 and I agreed to lease it at $254.33 or $297.93 to include tax for 36 months. At the end of 39 months, I happened to remember this lease and called to find out why I was still paying on a 36 months agreement. I discovered in small print that I must either notify the company that this sign is going to be returned to the company, or I can buy it at a pre-arranged price of $604.98. I was told that I will have to continue making the same lease payments unitl the $604.98 payment is made. I know I should have known or been more careful or maybe I should have gone to "Rip-Off.com" and seen how many companies were warning other consumers. You live and learn. Add me to the list as a warning to others of this slick sales program, I do not recommend this companies quality of product or their tactics of business. BEWARE!!!

I bought two 6foot long X 32inches tall full color RGB message centers with great graphics that i can put my logo and pictures on.Thats not what i got the signs came in after i payed for them they where only 32inches tall and the graphics are horribble.

I call the sales guy Greg and told him that these are not the right size or the graphicesyou told me. he said he would come look at them. He never showed up. So i called Singtronix they wouldn't don anything they said thats what i ordered i told them it was not and i told them i even have the text message that Greg sent me of the size of the sign. they didn't care.

I talked to two deffrent people from signtronix and explained the situation they just keep saying thats what i ordered i asked if i could just send them back and get my money back the said no!!!

They are Horrible company!!! And have the worst sales reps they are very pushy!!!

Buddy Swisshelm runs a sign sales organization. He operates under Buddy Swisshelm, Signtronix, Swiss Eagle Marketing. This is important because he has sold very expensive Electronic Signs (the big LED signs) under the name Signtronix. Signtronix is a manufacturer from California. But he has sold many many of these very expensive signs that are just chinese import garbage. Like mine!

My sign is a piece of garbage that I spent over $30,000. I was told by Buddy that I was buying a Signtronix sign. I was told of the quality and the warranty. All LIES. I got a piece of garbage that not only looked like it was built in some handyman's garage; I come to find out it actually was. Everything this guy says is bull crap. Do NOT believe a word from this man.

I have complained because:

-the sign looks terrible, it is not clear, the colors are all faded and vary

-it never communicates, I have had new cable, antenaes, routers....

-i cannot get parts, repairs or service

Buddy will ignore your calls for months then send someone out to look at it. I have had about 5 different people out... tells me he can't keep them. He is despicable and he ripped me off. I wonder if he sleeps at night.

STAY AWAY from Buddy Swisshelm (actual name is Orbin), Signtronix and Swiss Eagle Marketing!!!

LIAR-SCAMMER-LOSER- BUDDY SWISSHELM

If I could give a zero star I would! This guy is something else. NEVER EVER EVER agree to buy anything from this low life! How is it that he gets money upfront for a sign, THOUSANDS of dollars, sometimes the WHOLE cost of the sign, and never orders the sign! Him and his wife live it up on other peoples money. They go on shopping trips, dine at expensive restaurants, drive new Mercedes, and take extravagant trips ALL THANKS to the people Orbin/Buddy is SCAMMING money out of. His wife, Kathryn Swisshelm, spends the money like crazy KNOWING that her loser of a husband is stealing money from people and it doesn't bother her at all. There is no way that his daughters aren't in on this loser lifestyle also. NONE of them care that money is taking from hardworking people just so they can look like they live a wealthy lifestyle. He absolutely runs a PONZI scheme. He is like a mini Bernie Madoff. You will get caught Buddy. Even your wife will go down with you because she lives it up knowing exactly what you are doing. There's a lot of people currently looking for you. You will be in jail for a very long time, maybe your wife also. One day you're gonna scam the wrong person! How do you sleep at night Orbin? It must feel so good knowing you steal from people. If you are researching Buddy's name to see if you should buy a sign from him, DO NOT DO IT!!! You too will be having to sue this low life, that's a guarantee!

RUN away from these people! We got our sign in 2013, and its been nothing but issues! The leasing company they use in a total fraud! Northern leasing company has had multiple class action lawsuits for defrauding their customers. We signed a lease with signtronx and were not aware that they would pass the lease on to northern leasing or we would have had NOTHING to do with them! Our lease was up in April of 2016 and they continued to auto draft our account for 377 a month for 20 months because *we* never initiated a buyout even though we had contacted them multiple times to quit charging our account. We finally blocked them from being able to charge. Now they are trying to report us for non payment when we over payed for our sign $5000! We WILL be suing both of these companies for deceptive business practices!

Ditto!

I too was scammed by Signtronix & they also failed to tell me I was signing a lease agreement with Northern Leasing Company...$10,200 worthless sign! They call endlessly & threatens me & now have place a bad credit on my credit report. I called them 2 yrs ago & told them I was going out of business & I couldn’t afford a sign that apparently would never be mine without a huge buy out I knew nothing about. I told them I would send the sign back but they said no...I’m at my wits end & don’t know what if anything I can do...they took money out of my account several times without my permission, I finally closed that account. I talked to an attorney but he wasn’t any help at all & said I had to pay it ...they even threatened to but me in jail! I’m furious!
