His phone is still taking messages.

This guy needs to learn his lesson. I'll keep calling him, that's for sure.

I think Wes is right about the collections agencies, my employer has never got a judgement against him, that is who they are after since it was picked up at my work

Re: Someone in Everett, WA.
 

Wes... While you're of course right about the simple moral issue of this dude stealing your money, I'm of the humble opinion that you're on the edge of stupid. At some point you'll need to remind yourself that:

1) it wasn't the smartest move in the world to give over money with the truck unseen and dude unmet,

2) people who pull such stunts as your "seller" did are not to be considered normal, stable or lesson-teachable, and

3) with the advent of the internet, no one can ever be considered safely anonymous from retribution if you finally drive the a-hole over his wobbly, shaky edge.

It's not worth having your house lit on fire in the middle of the night - or as just showed up in the news - bulldozed - because some freak decided he was tired of midnight phone calls.

I think you should take him to court or just mark down the loss as a won't-do-that-again, and move on.

My 2 cents. Good luck.

King-5 Jesse Jones.

It's the principle of the thing now. I doubt Wes is too worried about the money.

I'd put a post on Craigs List to warn others about this a$$hole and renew periodically just to make sure someone else doesn't fall for the scam.

If possible, make life miserable for him to keep him honest and either take him to court or notify King-5 as "oldman" posted above. Also, put a trace the western union money order to see when it was cashed and by whom if possible.
Contact Craigslist to see if they can find original ad.

Haha that may work.

Has anyone tried to see if the "Guthrie Construction" exists? Found one in Port Hadley under different name, nothing in the Everett area. Thought if someone local could check at the court house, to see if there is a "Guthrie Construction" . If there is one, maybe a local person could set up a meeting with "Scott" and talk about a construction job. Have some friends near by, then casually mention "Chevy Blazer" for sale and the name "Wes", then see what happens? Has anyone else thought of this? Just a thought. Mike.:devil:

Re: Someone in Everett, WA.
 

are you guys still hammering this guy's phone, or has this been dropped ?

Re: Someone in Everett, WA.
 

Agreed. It was nice to see the board rally behind you, but this all started with a bad choice on your part (OP). With talk of slashing tires now, etc. this can only end badly.

Re: Someone in Everett, WA.
 

Did anything ever get resolved with this?
