I am a Dry Cleaners that Picks Up & Delivers at Home or Office. I am also a member of a networking Group that Met at Java D'Lites in Coral Springs and met Fred Denmark and He immediately showed interest in My Service and told Me that He wanted to start within a week or two. Fred started My service on May 17 with 2 bags full of clothes that totaled over $90.00 and kept sending on a regular basis through June 28 and every time I asked for payment Fred put Me off.
I did not realize how the bill had ran up to over $650.00 and that is My fault for letting it get that high but Fred kept telling Me that He was going to take care of everything soon... Soon never came. When I finally came to the conclusion that I had a problem I spoke to the Man that runs the Networking group His name is Marc. He told me that Fred had just recently borrowed a substantial amount of money from Him & His wife I forget the exact amount but it was about $600.00 and telling Marc & His wife that some emergency had just happened and He needed Help and they felt sorry for Him and loaned Him the money. And by the way Marc told Me that Fred had been working as an Elvis impersonator doing a show when He came up to Marc & His wife and eventually started crying telling them about this emergency... I forget what Fred had claimed had happened.
When I started seriously asking to be paid Fred claimed that He had fainted due to heart trouble. He also said that He had to go to the hospital to have stints put in His heart to avoid having open heart surgery. He claimed that all kinds of tragedies had befallen Him every time I have tried to get paid. Fred had started paying Me off but only $110.00 in 2 seperate payments both of which He promised were going to be more as in He promised $100.00 and gave Me $55.00 because His girlfriend had rented Him a Uhaul van and it was on empty when He got the van so He had to put gas in the van.
When I was asking to get paid for the services rendered I put Fred's name in the department of corrections web page & found out that Fred is a convicted felon having committed fraud. I then googled Fred Denmark & found usacomplaints.com & found what Fred had done. He had claimed that His home had burned down... Well the story is here but what was strange was Fred told Me that His home burned down so when I heard that & then found out how He became a convicted felon having claimed that before I thought He was lying again. But come to find out this time it was true... His trailer really did catch on fire.
When I tried to collect the money that was owed to Me & told Fred that I thought that He was liying again about His home burning He threatened to give My name as a suspect in the fire. At the time I did not even know where Fred lived. I do think that it is ironic that Fred created His own karma having claimed losing His home to fire & then someone burning His trailer. Also when I have contacted Fred by phone He would answer the phone in a strong voice but I when I would say Hello & identify Myself He would sound as if He was about to pass out & would start wheezing or be short of breath.
Fred calls every now & then after I call & call Him He makes a promise to bring Me money but so far other than the 2 payments it is only empty promises. He has supposedly gotten out of Java D'Lites... I have heard He sold the business but Fred told Me that He is a silent partner now but the Man He took as partner named Omar has not been paying Him the amount that was agreed on saying that business is really slow... Again how ironic now Fred is getting empty promises.
As far as I am concerned Fred STOLE from Me because when He started sending dry cleaning with Me He was not able to pay for the service... I know this because that was about the same time He borrowed money from Marc the man from the networking group. Fred also told Me that He thought that things would be better business wise & that He would be able to pay... If that is true why did He let it run up so high & for 2 months?
Fred knows EXACTLY what He is doing... He just keeps playing on the sympathy of people He meets in other words HE is A CON ARTIST.
