I went to work for this plumber. He took me under his wing and seemed like the greatest guy. A while later, he found out that I had money in savings and that I was looking for a house. He took me to one of his abandominioms and laid out a huge sales pitch, telling me he would put all new fixtures into it and appliances and the whole nine yards. He seemed really hurried to get a deposit. Like a dummy I let him talk me into wiring him 6 thousand dollars for a downpayment. He was calling it a land contract. With an agreement that he would take payments out of my paycheck till it was paid off. Just as he called the bank 2 hours after I ordered the funds transfer to make sure his new cash flow has been recieved, he looks at me and says, oh I may have forgot to tell you that there are no refunds here. If you dont take the house, you dont get any money back.
Anyway, I never got an actual contract on paper. He never fixed up the place the way he promised. I never got a house. I never got anything. I filed a police report and they refused to do anyting about it. This is a theft by deception and the courts wont prosecute. They told me to go to civil court and I looked into it, I learned that this guy is being sued by everyone under the sun. I am sick over this and I am living in a homeless program after this guy ripped me off.
