Sandra Gavel cops $123,728 Summary Judgment (Zeek Canada)
Canadian Zeek Rewards scammer Sandra Gavel’s response to clawback litigation filed against her was somewhat confusing.
Upon being served papers on behalf of the Zeek Receiver, Gavel penned a letter to the court to inform it she didn’t consent to US jurisdiction.
This didn’t mean anything legally, and so the Receiver filed a motion requesting legal clarification on Gavel’s filing.
The court classified Gavel’s letter as a pro se Motion to Dismiss and promptly denied it.
That was late 2015, with the Receiver filing for Summary Judgment against Gavel in early 2017.
Roughly eight months later Judge Mullen has finally ruled on the matter.
In a September 7th order Mullen granted the Receiver Summary Judgment against Gavel.
Gavel failed to respond to the Receiver’s motion, with the court issuing a Roseboro Order on February 27th.
A Roseboro Order sees a court clerk
forward summary judgment explanation to the opposing party and directing that party to respond in 34 days.
The clerk’s correspondence was returned undeliverable and, with nothing from Gavel since, her time is now up.
Defendant Gavel has failed to respond to the Receiver’s motion, and the Court finds that the facts and arguments provided by the Receiver are sufficient to establish the claims he has asserted.
Therefore, it is appropriate for the Court to grant the Receiver’s Motion for Summary Judgment.
Summary Judgment sees Gavel up for $123,738. $89,904 of which she stole from Zeek Rewards victims and $33,833 in prejudgment interest.
In related news the trial for the remaining Canadian Zeek net-winners, which has been substantially delayed by Gavel’s inaction, is scheduled to kick off on October 17th.
Stay tuned…
Update November 1st, 2017 – I’ve been trying to track what happened to the Zeek Canada trial and today noticed the case has been marked “terminated” as of September 7th.
This was the same date the order for summary judgment was granted against Sandra Gavel.
Not sure what the termination of the case means for the other Canadian net-winners but hopefully a future Status Report from the Receiver clears things up.
Thanx again for the updates… I hope the judge can retrieve all our money that was stolen from unsuspecting people such as my friends as well as myself that signed up for this scam…

This is what I am seeing from many of the people who were in Zeek and made money. Ignore, ignore, ignore. Now in the USA I see several people who are just ignoring the recent judgment against them.
Some of these debts will be sold off to creditors and they will try to collect. These debts cannot be attached to property via a lien so essentially if they keep ignoring, it will go away.
Maybe and that is a big maybe it would go on their credit report. For some, they are not going to care.
Here is one to blow your mind. I had one person who according to the receiver owes $122,000 plus 42,000 in interest tell me that they felt like a victim in all of this mainly because they helped financially get some others into Zeek.
This person even told me that they thought this whole judgment thing was a scam by the receiver to collect money. Mind blown.
Civil judgements stay on credit report for at least 7 years, and it can be re-filed.
Creditor *can* garnish wages. HALF of the states do allow liens on properties through judgements. Most states have some exemptions, which varies. Besides liens, there’s also levys, assignments, and if the collectee refuse to cooperate, ask the court to start contempt proceedings.
So it will NOT go away. And it’s bit enough that some collectors will risk spend thousands to collect tens of thousands.

Their actions show just how much they “really cared” about those they conned into joining.
When Zeek was flourishing, their mantra was how much they just wanted to help the little guy finally get ahead. They were there answering questions, encouraging them to get others to join under them…that is until the crap hit the fan.
Then suddenly they were no longer communicating with their downline and ignored requests to settle with the Receiver.
If they truly cared, they would have settled with the Receiver so those in their downline would receive a better share of their losses. But then they did “work hard” for their stealing, according to them. Endless recruiting is such hard work.
It’s too bad they won’t be charged criminally for their role in Zeek.
