I am American citizen, lived 50 years in Los Angeles, CA., divorced. At present living temporarely in Sofia -Bulgaria. Myself I am 80 years of age and my only
income is my Social Security. On 02-02 through Internet, looking for a Law Firm to help me modifying a Spousal Support, I contacted Mr. Phillip W. Harris. He presented himself as a Lawyer, PhD, owner of -Budget Legal Service PC and some kind of representative of Washington Mutual Savings, 3502 Katela Ave. # 206 in Los Alamitos CA. 90720. He gave me his Tel. No's:
562-598-8849,714-899-8606 and told me that he is glad to prepare all papers and represent me in court for a fee of $1500. He inquired on his Fax No. 562-493-6539, I to send him all information about the case. I did fax him 31 pages. I gave him also, my address in Sofia-Bulgaria, my Tel. No. And Fax No. He told me that he is going to send me a Retainer, I to sign.
We communicated on Phone and his Email: [email protected]. On 02-18 I called him and he tricked me to give him my credit card VISA No.in order to check the card validity for California. After I gave him the No., he immediately withdraw $500 without my permission. Afraid, I had to cancel my credit card.
He also did not send me any Retainer. On 03-08-09 he said that he is so busy having 2000 clients and 200 active at any one time.
On 03-18-09 he faxed me, telling me that he does not want to do my case and already has returned my $500 with sertified check to my address in HUNGARY and I not to contact him again, az the Email will be construed as harassment. He tryed to fool me, I never been in Hungary, I live in Bulgaria. On 03-18-09 he writes: I sent you a cashier check (this time a cashier) to Bulgaria. I asked him on what address and he told me to some non existing address. It was another trick not to return my $5oo.
In addition he owes me all expenses for 31 Faxes, Credit Card, Tel. Calls, my time and since 02-03-09 the lost time for delaying the court process. What he did to me is pour fraud. From authority in Los Alamitos I found out that Mr. Harris is Impostor, he is not a Lawyer, nor PhD. I, am shacked. I am so angry and upset, suffering of mental anguish, of anxiety and having panic attacks for numerous days. The $500 dollars he stoled from me are very important for my existantce.
Sincerely: Edgar.
