Rick Stitt/Stitt Industries
Rick Stitt, Stitt Industries Internet Fraud

This report is related to two associated individuals, those being Rick Stitt/Stitt industries and John Wincewicz. These two persons are friends who work together to defraud innocent people for their own benifit.
This report is filed as two separate rip off reports however the circumstances for each of these individuals are identical.

I responded to a classified advertisment listed by "Barnstormers" an aviaton classifieds web-site.
The advertisment was listed by JOHN WINCEWICZ who claimed to own five Mini 500 Helicopters and was prepared to part out one of his brand new machines to finance a turbine conversion compliments from Mr. RICK STITT.

After several e-mails between WINCEWICZ & myself we agreed on a price of $3,500.00 USfor a complete tail-rotor/hub assembly.

The funds were sent to WINCEWICZ via Western Union on 03/04/04 with an understanding the parts would be dispatched on receipt if the funds.

After a few weeks and no parts I phoned WINCEWICZ to check the status of the shipment and was advised the helicopters were located at a friends facility in Missouri.
This friend was Mr. Rick Stitt.

Wincewicz said he was to travel to Missouri the following week and would personally forward the parts from there.

After a further three weeks I phoned Wincewicz to ask if the parts had been sent.

He told me he did not have the time to call into STITT INDUSTRIES whilst he was travelling and to contact Stitt personally as the parts were packaged and ready for dispatch.

A quick phone call to Stitt and I was told he had been waiting on me to supply my telephone number. No one had advised me of this and in any case WINCEWICZ had all my contact details.

A few more weeks went by and STILL no parts.

I phoned Stitt to ask what was going on only to receive a recorded message that STITT INDUSTRIES were no longer accepting incoming calls.

I have contacted WINCEWICZ by phone and e-mail numberous times only to be told month after month that he shall go to Missouri and send the parts himself or refund my money in full plus interest.

This is his last contact with me:
From: JWincewicz@aol.com
Date: 02/02/05 06:41: 55
To: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Colin,

You will be repaid with interest before the end of the month

This rot has continued for almost twelve months and after countless checks I am of the firm belief that neither STITT nor WINCEWICZ posessed any of the parts offered for sale.

STITT has a court judgment against him from Rinke Aerospace (a prior employer of STITT)
to the value of $300,000-00.

This order plus details of added shonky deals can be viewed at JAG Helicopter web site.

Wincewicz admitted to me he had forwarded money to STITT to help him out of this now pathetic financial position.

I could write a novel about these poor excuses for humans however there is no point
for me to waste your time or mine.
