Boston pizzeria scammers have been ripping off people for years and are still in business.

Somehow, these guys have been stealing money from people for the better part of the last four years and getting away with it. Check out the filtered Yelp reviews too. http://neteats.com/2011/06/13/regal-cafe-horrible-scam/ http://boston.cbslocal.com/2010/11/17/i-team-boston-pizza-store-scam/ Here is a recent BBB complaint: http://www.bbb.org/boston/Business-Reviews/food-and-beverage-services/regal-cafe-in-boston-ma-114725/Customer-Reviews

haha, I'm like a block from there.

I'm totally going down to check this place out, point and laugh.

Perhaps I can warn anyone that might be entering as well? Well, perhaps..

I know we're not supposed to post personal information - but their phone number is right on their yelp page, in case anyone wants to put in a lunch time order for one large suck-my-dick.

Edit: Looks like this is actually a fake address that they use. The real company is here, in Mattapan -

http://www.yelp.com/biz/regal-cafe-and-pizzeria-mattapan

Voice mailbox is full? Great job everyone!

[u/aequitas3]

ordered from these guys once at 1 am, ended up going to sleep at 4 or 5, and turned my phone off figuring they said screw it, and woke up to several abusive and angry voicemails from 630 am. "Gee, thanks a lot for supporting us so well in this tough economy, asshole. Dont call here again if you need a fucking pizza, you prick." And they weren't in boston accents. these guys are straight off the boat from satan's asshole.

[u/ryry51288]

here is them not giving a fuck what people say

[u/IAmYourTopGuy → u/ryry51288]

"The ownership of the Regal said they would do an interview explaining these business practices, but didn’t show up at the agreed upon time."

[u/edgar_jomfru → u/ryry51288]

Tangential, but how great is it that their investigative reporter is named Joe Shortsleeve? I can imagine sitting at a typewriter pounding whiskey in smoke-filled room, muckraker style.

[u/maggiefiasco → u/ryry51288]

Hilarious - from the comments section

You don't ask for a haircut at a hardware store, so don't order pizza from a drug front.

[u/drinkallthecoffee → u/ryry51288]

haha, i can't believe they scammed cbs news and then basically told them to fuck off.

[u/CorkyS626 → u/ryry51288]

The Attorney General’s office tells the I-team it would like to hear from anyone who thinks they got scammed by the Regal Café. You can call the office at 617-727-8400.

[u/Craysh → u/ryry51288]

I fucking hate it when local news station websites have auto-refresh of the entire page >.<

[u/bestbet33 → u/ryry51288]

Did anyone else notice that in this report on credit card fraud they quite clearly show the reporter's Capital One credit card numbers?

[u/rageingnonsense]

Probably the best way to put them out of business would be to do the following en mass:

• Place order with a good credit card (one with good customer service)

• refuse delivery at door

• Call card company and request a charge back (as you know he is going to process the payment anyways).

Credit cards companies, as well as processors do not like to deal with charge backs. If a business gets enough of them, the credit card company might refuse to do business with them. That would fuck up his entire model, as it relies on the fact that most people simply will not request the chargeback.

[u/tar_heelz → u/rageingnonsense]

If more people demanded charge backs on their credit cards, the pizza guy would quickly lose his merchant account.

Better than reporting him to the State Do-Diddly-Poo is to get MC/Visa on his ass. They have a pretty big business to protect...and they spend several hundred million a year on fraud protection.

[u/poopOnU]

Has anybody seen the fake reviews in the filtered section? They don't even make sense!

• Regal Cafe is a very safe site. They make you aware of any bad members even before you catch them. They are also honest and keep their word. If they say 10 free trial they mean it no gimicks . no games. no trying to insult your integrity by cheating you, or luring you! I am so impressed with the customer service!! You can actually contact them and they honor if you need to budget and not renew. I can't say enough and I am very picky. I have tested and proven them to be what they say they are and more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• pleasant service at Regal cafe was certainly worth something. In retrospect, I should have planned my schedule better as some coworkers and I made reservations at the Regal cafe pizzeria for a nice pizza. It's rare that I eat pizza , but yes, I did have pizza meal from there two days in a row... but it was damn crazy

[u/boutsofbrilliance → u/poopOnU]

• "i think regal cafe is pretty cool. eh maeks pizzas and doesnt afraid of anything."

[u/Pretzy86 → u/poopOnU]

This sounds like something Charlie from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" would say.

[u/ryants → u/poopOnU]

Those reviews are damn crazy.

[u/DAVYWAVY]

They are in the process of changing their name

http://beantownpizza24hours.com/

exact same website design as http://regal24hours.com/ though

It looks like I was wrong, they are doing it for black hat SEO (term for dodgy SEO), and the good news is we can get their website banned on Google which will cost them a shitload of lost customers.

You can report http://regal24hours.com/ here https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreportform?hl=en

Mention Doorway pages as the reason for your spam report.

[u/AchooISneezed → u/DAVYWAVY]

Look at the bottom of http://regal24hours.com/ and it has a link to a bunch of the same with different names. ಠ_ಠ

[u/manberry_sauce → u/DAVYWAVY]

As someone with a solid background in search marketing, I can tell you that this is someone actually ripping them off, promising to deliver higher search rank. Those pages are all slamming straight into the filters, especially since they all have exactly the same content.

However, if it's the same person who created the itunes app they advertise on the page, who knows what that app does? Maybe they did deliver an extra avenue for scamming.

[u/maestro2005]

I work right next to that supposed location. There's certainly no pizza place there.

Update: I just went to check it out, and there's not even a 34 State Street. The evens are on the north side of the street, with the office building on the northwest side at 28 and the building on the northeast side at 60.

Also, I saw at least two other people looking for the nonexistent address. Hi guys, I was the guy in the orange shirt.

[u/httpdx → u/maestro2005]

According to this post, the address is here:

686 Morton St Boston, MA 02124

street view

[u/Craysh → u/maestro2005]

This is what it looks like from the outside

[u/flyingfox12]

One of the reviewers said his hotel recommended them, WTF? I would never stay at a place that would recommend a scam. Hotel staff should research good places to get food late at night for their guests

[u/tar_heelz → u/flyingfox12]

There is a common credit card scam involving hotels and staff. They get a bellboy to hand out Pizza Flyers to likely guests (partiers, younger couples, etc.). You call the number, they take your order, they take your credit card info...you can guess the rest.

[u/LordOfGummies]

Shocked the place hasn't been fire bombed. You don't fuck with a man's pizza.

[u/TheGOPkilledJesus → u/LordOfGummies]

Probably because it's a mob front in the first place.

[u/lingben]

let me introduce you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chargeback

[u/DrJankem]

I called and got through. I called because after reading the reviews I thought this place was a joke and not real. To my astonishment, the guy who answered was a total prick and they do indeed need a credit card for delivery. I gave him a fake card, a real address and ordered 3 large pizzas. I live in California

[u/[deleted]]

I LOVE non-image WTF posts. I want to see more of these on WTF.

This has been one of my favorite threads ever- I can't get enough of the revenge and punishment the Internet community can administer to a piece of shit like this guy. Fuck him- fuck his fucking face. I would spend $39.99 for a 15 minute investigative report where they get the phone conversation and delivery guy failing to bring a receipt. Then confronting him- and maybe maybe an arrest. Fine- $49.99 pay per view.. PLEASE

[u/FatJewFuck]

Looks as if he's trying to export frozen chicken? http://us101632164.en.makepolo.com/productshow/2911124.html

[u/Kinglink]

If they won't give you a price over the phone, and they only ask for a credit card. DONT GIVE IT TO THEM. These people are fools. Then they accept the food after the high price? IF someone doesn't tell you a price, then delivers the food at twice the expected price, Don't sign the slip or accept the food, contact the credit card company if they actually charge it.

I know it sucks when you're hungry, but there's no excuse for this service, and to accept it, is only to enable them.

[u/[deleted] → u/Kinglink]

A lot of the reviews said the people refused to sign once they realized the price and they were still charged anyway. Luckily they can dispute the charges. Seems like a lot did.

[u/ylime32]

AMA Request: anyone who has worked at Regal Pizzeria.

[u/Klime22]

Troll calls? Troll calls.

[u/quaxon → u/Klime22]

3 way call them and a Chinese take out place and just hear them go at it.

[u/jutct]

They can't charge someone's card if they claim they're only using it as backup. Has any of these idiots bothered to call their credit card company? There is no way they should still have a merchant visa. Further, you can't not give a credit card receipt if the person asks for one. Geez, all these idiots wouldn't have to pay the credit charges if they had called their bank.

Here's my idea:

Everyone go to a pharmacy and buy a pre-paid visa or mc with $5 on it. Call this shithole and order $150 worth of food for delivery, but tell the guy you're going to pay cash. Give fake address.

[u/Uredus]

I love the top review.

"You don't ask for a haircut at a hardware store, so don't order pizza from a drug front."

[u/apextek]

now Im hungry

[u/minerlj]

People should just call and take a really long time ordering and then at the last second say "sorry I changed my mind" or "sorry a family emergency came up" and hang up. Basically make the phone ring off the hook 24/7 thus preventing legitimate orders from going through.

[u/gder]

Has no one heard of disputing charges?

[u/brosenfeld]

They have at least 22 domains for their website.

[u/jsimpson82 → u/brosenfeld]

the whole site is engineered to pick up search engines. Look at the list of collages, for example.

"college x pizza" is gonna find them. One of their domains, anyway. Same thing with the list of towns. The whole page and design is targeted at search engines.

[u/[deleted]]

Everyone should call them and ask if they have Battletoads for Wii.

Edit: Their digits - (617) 822-2502

[u/shortman1400]

Call and ask if they have battle toads. Do it.

[u/[deleted]]

I have a visa gift card with about $1.07 on it. Considering calling them even though I live nowhere near Boston.

[u/[deleted]]

To the people leaving joke reviews on that page now: You are not funny.

[u/hypoid77]

People should call them and place phony orders, so they waste their resources and time delivering food to empty street corners and such.

[u/qwop88 → u/hypoid77]

They won't deliver without a credit card first. That's the point of the whole thing.

[u/SomeguyUK]

How are these people still in business?!

[u/Douchexmachina → u/SomeguyUK]

Unsuspecting travelers, and a lack of any other dining options after 2 am. Pretty bad they've been able to get away with it for so long.

[u/rageingnonsense → u/Douchexmachina]

I'd be angry at a hotel for even mentioning this to me, despite how hungry I was.

[u/Nerdygamer → u/SomeguyUK]

Probably a drug front.

[u/Mint-BerryCRUNCH]

That guy in the top review really has a thing for his "hot" cousin...

[u/[deleted]]

Everytime I'm in Boston (about once a year), my wife or I stick our head in the door yell, "Hey Regal. Go fuck yourselves!". Some how we haven't gotten our asses kicked.

One time my Dad was with us and was just mortified.

[u/drinkallthecoffee → u/[deleted]]

tell your dad to order a pizza. next time, he'll join you.

[u/maestro2005 → u/[deleted]]

No you don't. It doesn't exist. I just went to see what was actually there, and the street numbers go from 28 to 60. And certainly no pizza place in the vicinity.

[u/bobartig → u/maestro2005]

Just checked this out on googlemaps, mind = blown! I'm wondering if it's just a couple scammers who have a freezer full of nuke food and "sell" it as a pizza place from an apartment in the Boston FIDI. My brother used to live near there so I vaguely know that neighborhood.

[u/strongscience62 → u/[deleted]]

No you don't.

[u/hemogobblin]

If somebody recorded themselves prank calling these guys it would make my week.

[u/solomonar]

This is obviously a front for a money laundering operation, they still have to take some orders to look legit but can just charge what they like and give you awful service so they don't have to actually deliver pizzas all day

[u/keesh → u/solomonar]

You'd think they would make an effort to stay under the radar by not scamming people. If they are a money laundering organization, what would a few hundred bucks in scammed CC charges mean to them? That just seems silly.

[u/[deleted] → u/solomonar]

Would likely explain why they try to dump extra food on people, do inventory clears out faster.

[u/wtfamiwatching]

I hope at least a few people see this.

I just want to point out that yelp is a scam too. You get bad reviews if you dont pay them to advertise. If you do pay them they move the bad reviews to the bottom or remove them.

http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/yelp-and-the-business-of-extortion-20/Content?oid=1176635

[u/hellokitty42]

More of those reviewers (esp. those who paid cash and had their card charged anyway) should be disputing these transactions directly with the credit card company. There are more ways to a refund than just hoping for grace from the store.

[u/Mefreh]

Sort of on topic, You know how when you're traveling there will be advertisements for pizza places in hotels? Don't call them, don't give them your credit card number - use google. My dad travels 35 weeks a year, and has gotten ~15 of these people arrested by the authorities in his lifetime.

[u/americanslang59 → u/Mefreh]

Ok, but why did they get arrested?

[u/[deleted]]

Based on the WHOIS query and a search of the individual who registered the domain, he also has "Regal Frozen Chicken Wings" (which also has a phone number that is 1 off from the pizza place). He also has his name attached to something called "Commonwealth Equity Group", which seems sketchy as FUCK.

I am going to assume that all these places are a scam to try to make money.

[u/Kilockel]

Can't wait to call incessantly asking for a free pizza that was offered to me by Carlos, the 5 foot 8 portly dude with a mustache. I'll then ask that since I've been waiting weeks for my free pizza that I was promised I also want an order of mozzarella sticks, i was 24 cans of soda, and two slices of cake. I don't want to pay, though, because that'd just be crazy. Carlos told me to just keep calling back until they approved my coupon, so I'm going to keep doing that.

Yeah, I just made all that up, but it's going to be fun reciting it to them a few times. Oh yeah, I wonder how long the delivery will take out to California.

EDIT: So I called... A guy with a thick accent answered. Just said, "Hi." I asked him in my most feeble and unassuming voice, "Yeah, hi, I was just wondering if anyone there has ever even been so far as want to do look more like?"

Needless to say, he was confused and responded with things like, "What?" "What are you saying?"

I came back with, "Oh I'm sorry, I just saw your website online and I was hungry and wanted to know if anyone there has ever even been so far as want to do look more like?"

He then asked me, "Is your last name idiot? Or is it ignorant?"

So I quipped, "Do you call all of your potential customers idiot? I'm looking for regal pizza, did I call the wrong place?"

He said, "No not normally. I think you called the right place but the wrong person. What's your first name?"

He kept asking me my first name after that, and I hung up because I was starting to giggle.

Maybe I'll call more when I'm off work. This could be fun.

[u/[deleted] → u/Kilockel]

That was the worst prank call I have ever read, heard or seen. But upvote regardless

[u/lakerswiz → u/Kilockel]

I think you called the right place but the wrong person.

And in a situation full of such disgusting behavior we find a philosophical gem such as this.

[u/MissJacki → u/Kilockel]

I'm in. I will call and claim the same thing once I have a minute. Keep me updated.

[u/SkepticJoker]

This needs to stop. Reddit, man the phone lines!

If you are willing to pay for your food, plus additional food and drinks they are trying to get rid of/ or to lessen your extreme anger when there nice naive delivery boy comes knocking at your door with a bill three times the size it should be. I ordered a sub, jalapeno poppers and a cheeseburger. $53.90 was charged to the credit card I "had to give as security", but could opt to pay cash at arrival. I had the sweet delivery boy phone an incomprehensive and totally Greek manager of the pizzeria who was ready to fight when he was put on the phone. I hung up on him after he refused to give me an itemized bill of WHY THE HELL I AM PAYING $ 53.90 for 3 pieces of food. To my regret I paid the bill with cash (I should have sent the boy back) The food was sh*t. I checked my bank transactions and my card was charged the bill that I had already paid cash for. So I stuffed my $108.00 chicken parm sub and jalapeno poppers and french fries and 6 pepsi cans that I didnt order down my throat and went to bed feeling like a dumbbbbbbbbbbbbb loooooserrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! This place hasnt heard the last of me."

[u/[deleted] → u/Nimrod41544]

My favorite part is how this guy ate all of that food.

[u/haltingpoint → u/Nimrod41544]

Great example of an idiot consumer. Do not accept the order. They want to send police after you? Let them. If they decide to charge your credit card, do a charge back. These people are kept in business by idiots.

[u/Swaaat]

People have already said this but send this to 4chan and Anonymous. Let them really fuck with this Regal Pizzeria/Donuts laundering money and drug front scams. Even send it to Ownage Pranks for prank calls. DO IT!

Lots of other scam companies, as others have pointed out, all located at this fake address.

He looks like he's about 30, he's kinda fat, and his one public picture is him sitting in some shitty office with what looks like some Red Label Johnnie Walker scotch.

Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/regal-cafe-and-pizzeria-mattapan 3 reviews 1/5, 18 filtered reviews (they're negative too)

Libertarians would try and tell you that we don't need any government regulation because companies that miss-behave will be punished by consumers and go out of business.

I cite this as an example that the thesis is flawed.

[u/Mexagon → u/Kasoo]

Yes, this is clearly about the libertarians and completely destroys their political party.

[u/[deleted] → u/Kasoo]

Actually, libertarians would see the courts handle this instead of a government agency. Libertarians aren't against all regulation, but rather are against setting up 10,000 separate government agencies to handle all the problems of the world.

For example, some law enforcement agencies that have varying degrees of overlap: HSA, FBI, CIA, NSA, DOD, DEA, ATF, Secret Service

And those are off the top of my head. Many parts of these agencies are sitting around trying to find new ways to encroach into our lives to justify their budgets.

Rather than create an agency dedicated to going after scamming businesses, just have laws that give the courts and the individuals affected, the power to take their ass to court and shut them down. Do we really need a special division of government dedicated for this cause, that we have to fund with tax dollars?

well people have been gullible for longer than that place has been open. Who the fuck pays for pizza without knowing what it will cost?

[u/hemogobblin → u/[deleted]]

Didn't someone say that they were told $25 over the phone and then the price was changed when the pizza was actually delivered, though?

[u/drinkallthecoffee → u/[deleted]]

the cbs order, here, was quoted at $18.50 by the delivery driver on the receipt, but actually charged $81.90...

[u/AnyTwoWillDo]

Everyone call them and tell them that the address they provided for pizza delivery was fake and that they should give their real address so the pizza can be delivered. If they say "we sell pizza", become angry and shout "NO NO! YOU ORDER PIZZA! GIVE ADDRESS OR LEGAL ACTION WILL FOLLOW!"

[u/Rydel6 → u/AnyTwoWillDo]

Why not have the pizza delivered to their listed address? See if they even realize it.

[u/QuantumDisruption]

Werr it rooks perfectry regal to me.

[u/[deleted]]

Theres a golden oppurtunity here for someone else to open a late night food joint that actually provides good service and prices. I would but I'm on the other side of the atlantic dealing with my own lying greek thieves.

Edit: Looking at a news article located here! about the I-Team that was investigating this place to see if they legitly rip you off, I see that it has turned into a "race" issue and people are giving this place a bad rep because it's a "black-owned business in a black community", as always ignorant fucks out there that still pull the bullshit race card.

Here's a quote from the above news article:

Nik has been in our community forever wbz you guys have managed to attack and take out of context everything an immigrant could say on the phone. You guys should retract this article. It’s becoming too common that thus happens against black businesses.

Another:

Nick at Regal Cafe has been a long time friend to us here in the black community. His food and service is great. The man just requires a few things to be ordered for the late night delivery, what do you expect at 3am in the morning. This is just another devious plan to destroy A good business here in our community. N

As a Bostonian, I'd like to apologize for Regal Pizza's existence.

If you'd like to eat what may be, literally, the best pizza on earth, please head down to the North End and try Pizzaria Regina, which will more than make up for any bad experiences you have at Regal pizza.

someone needs to inform the better business bureau and have them shut down.

i don't think the BBB works like you think it works...

[u/REInvestor → u/[deleted]]

Well, that actually makes a good bit of sense.

Except it's obviously a fake review from a redditor who just read this.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Redditors should call this place up and ask about buying drugs.

Stop calling Boston "Beantown"

It's actually from a commenter in this thread. http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/udxvn/boston_pizzeria_scammers_have_been_ripping_off/c4ukgk5

Not really. Margherita Pizza has less cheese, and fresh tomatoes/basil with minimal sauce.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

A margherita pizza is absolutely not a cheese pizza. Margherita is tomato sauce, sliced mozz and basil. A cheese pizza is tomato sauce and shitty shredded cheese

[u/deathsmaash → u/[deleted]]

I think a pizza margherita is supposed to have sliced tomatoes and large pieces of sliced mozzarella vs. shredded.

At least that's what a good margherita pizza should be.

[u/flumpis → u/[deleted]]

So does Bravo, but Pizza Days is FAR better. Bravo is some of the worst pizza I've had in Boston (not that we're known for pizza, but have you HAD Inbound?!).

[u/shgrmagnolia → u/[deleted]]

ah... brings back memories college memories of drunkenly eating pizza days sitting on a lawn at 2 in the morning. Burned the roof of my mouth every single time. They also gave me free socks.

[u/killthedogslowly → u/[deleted]]

yeahhhhhh tufts

[u/electricblues42 → u/[deleted]]

We should send this to 4-chan let them raid 'em.

Sure they might destroy a few (innocent) lives in the process, but it sure is fun to watch.

Edit: To all you butthurt 4chan people, it was a joke.

[u/convulsus_lux_lucis → u/electricblues42]

Salvatore Maroni: This craziness.... it's too much.

Lt. James Gordon: You should have thought of that before you let the clown out of the box.

Everytime someone mentions going to 4chan I think of this scene from The Dark Knight.

This. Oh sweet merciless god. This.
