On April 24, I entered in an purchase agreement contract with Gaines Service Leasing Corp. Dba Gaines Vending for (10) New Electronic Combo Machines Model VM 750 with (10) locations and freight included to individual locations with warranty and insurance for the sum of $20,000.00 USD. They debited a deposit of $10,000.00 on that day of 04/24/08 and the remaining balance of $10,000.00 on 05/08/08 from my debit card from my checking account with Regions Bank. They used my original contract for ten electronic VM 750's and fraudgently changed my order in their computer to ten mechanical machines worth alot less (smaller & lighter) 365lbs. That is how I caught the scam, through freight tracking #'s showing different weight than my machines at 520lbs. Each. I refused delivery, even though Thomas Ligor aka Thomas Elliot tried to convince me to let the freight company go ahead and distribute the wrong machines to all of my customers locations and they would have them picked up and send out my correct order our mistake he said). Long story short, they (Jack G. Schwartz) claimed on Thursday 05/22/08 that he would refund my money in full, but it would be that next Tuesday 05/27/08 since that Monday was holiday (Memorial Day Weekend).instead, they faxed me a letter stating Ligor had defrauded them out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they could only refund 10% of my purchase of $20,000.00. BULLS*T!!!
Here is where I emailed Great Neck, NY Chamber of Commerce:
Great Neck Chamber of Commerce,
My name is Shannon, and I was defrauded by one of your city's companies, "Gaines Service Leasing Corp. "dba "Gaines Vending", President - Jack G. Schwartz. They scammed me out of $20,000.00 USD. I've filed complaint with BBB of New York and filed with local FBI here in Huntsville, AL and also with www.ic3. Gov for internet fraud and blasted them on usacomplaints.com.Com to warn people, now with your Chamber of Commerce there in Great Neck, New York. They are currently under federal investigation. My only intentions of this email is to warn or notify potential customers of this company, Gaines Vending, so that maybe we can limit the financial burden and fraud of other peoples HARD EARNED money. I do wish the Commerce Board would look into these allegations and possibly launch your own investigation on one of your local "supposely honest" businesses. This could have an large affect on your city's reputation and future business affairs.
Thanks respectfully
