Adam Gabriel Smith: - Stealing From Special Needs Families- Puzzle Piece Relief LLC Brooksville Florida Warning

 There is a particular kind of predator that targets the most vulnerable families — those caring for children with disabilities who are simply trying to access services their children desperately need. Adam Gabriel Smith, operating as Puzzle Piece Relief LLC out of Brooksville, Florida, appears to be exactly that kind of operator.

This is not a single complaint. Multiple families in Florida have now documented the same pattern of conduct from Adam Gabriel Smith and Puzzle Piece Relief LLC.

HOW THE SCAM WORKS:

Adam Gabriel Smith specifically markets Puzzle Piece Relief LLC to families of children with special needs who use Step Up for Students scholarship funds — Florida's state-administered scholarship program for children with disabilities and learning differences. He presents himself as an authorized provider, collects payment upfront through the scholarship system, and then delivers nothing.

No services. No communication. No refund.

When families follow up, he initially responds with promises — "I'll call you back" "we'll get started soon," "I'm working on the next week scheduling." Then he disappears. Calls go unanswered. Messages go unreturned. The money is gone.

WHAT FAMILIES ARE REPORTING:

Multiple Florida families have independently reported identical experiences with Adam Gabriel Smith and Puzzle Piece Relief LLC:

— Payment collected through Step Up for Students scholarship accounts — 

Zero services delivered after months of waiting — Owner initially responsive then progressively unreachable — Promises to follow up that are never kept — No refund provided despite zero services rendered — BBB shows F rating with 4 complaints filed and failure to respond to 2 complaints

One documented victim described Adam Smith's tactics in detail — collecting funds, stringing families along with scheduling promises, then going completely silent. She posted all phone records. 

The pattern is identical across multiple families. This is not disorganization. This is a business model.

WHY THIS IS ESPECIALLY PREDATORY:

Families of children with special needs are not an easy target by accident. They are chosen deliberately. These families:

— Are navigating complex systems while managing their child's care — Often have limited time and resources to pursue legal action — Trust providers who present themselves as specialists — Use scholarship funds that take time to recover or dispute — Are emotionally exhausted and less likely to fight back

Adam Gabriel Smith knows this. Puzzle Piece Relief LLC was built around this demographic specifically.
