  SCAMMER ALERT!!

  Reason: Fraud

  LOUNGE MEDIA GROUP SCAMMER ALERT: BACKWATER LOGISTICS - MC 1182317 Our podcast, "Stop the Scam!" has been following this hashtag#scumbag since April of this year. Backwater is the fifth known company allegedly owned by Sean Mabe since 2022. This hashtag#scumbag is allegedly hiring owner/operators and failing to pay them through a disastrously predatory OO contract. Mabe allegedly strings out the drivers over a period of two weeks. After the second week, when the first settlement payment is late, the carriers start asking where their pay is. At some point, Mabe allegedly cuts off their fuel card, stranding them. As drivers quit over being mistreated, they are assessed an early contract termination fee of $4-6k ensuring that the drivers will never get paid. That we are aware of, there are at least 40 OOs that were allegedly victimized by Sean Mabe, with each being reportedly owed approximately $10,000 in unpaid wages. Known companies (matched by phone numbers, addresses, and Secretary of State filings originating from Mabe's home address, sometimes under different names: MC 1149692 (Mabe Logistics) Inactive MC 1525601 (Mabe Transport) Inactive MC 1470125 (Mabe Group Logistics) Inactive MC 1635231 (Raptor Transport) Inactive MC 1182317 (Backwater Logistics) Active, 1 FG on 10/3/24 Possible associated company: MC 1426735 (Funky Truckin') Inactive - Owner strongly defended Mabe in our initial reporting about him not paying his owner operators in Q2 this year. Owner has since come to us claiming to be a victim also. We suspect the owner was in on the scam and was squeezed out, but cannot prove that. We have reported this to OIG and DOT and the FTC numerous times. If you are an Owner Operator, run away from Sean Mabe. If you are a broker, I urge you to reconsider using these MCs.
