I was ripped off by a man named Vince Tarter and his wife, Corriane in the Palm Desert area approximately six to seven years ago to the tune ofover $5,000.
I was working at Mathis Brothers Furniture at the time as a salesperson. Vince and his wife came in and over the course of2 months ordered approximately $35,000 worth of furniture.
Duringthat time he earned my trust and proceeded to offer to supplement my income by providing me access to purchase FBI seized luxury vehicles at steep discounts prior to auction via a friend he went to college with who was now in the bureau.
I was trusting and had a baby on the way... And stupid.
Needless to say, all his checks for the furniture eventually bounced (after taking about half with) and I never saw car or dime one.
By sheer chance, a friend who also worked atMathis Bros and knew the situation saw him in a restaurant was able to follow him.instead of doing what we really wanted to (taking the money), we were able to convince and direct the police his way... Turns out my losses were nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands he had scammed from scores of people along the way who were eventually named inthe criminal complaint.
I was awarded $5,500 in restitution thatI have yet to see a nickel of.
He know spent a few years in jail thanks to our efforts, but if he is out PLEASE don't let yourself be fooled any more than you already have.
He is an amazing con-man, but he is heartless; he preys on anyone and everyone without discrimination or remorse. Most of the folks who went to his court proceeding were elderly.
And now he's apparently freed from prison and is back to doing what he does best... Conning unsuspecting people out of thousands and thousands of dollars.
If you have any idea how to reach him, please let me know where he works and/or how to contact him.
I lost a lot more than the money when he ripped me off... I lost my family, eventually my job, and maybe worst of all, I lost faith in humanity formany years.
Hope this helps...
Please respond with any further details I can provide to you or vice-versa.
Thank you much
