I met with Jack Liguori on 10/23. He wanted to show me a land property that he had listed on E-bay for sale. It was located in Alma NY. I went to see it with him, but was not really sure about it. So Jack insisted that I follow him to another land property that he was selling. It was located in Angelica NY. I went to see it with him, and Iiked it, so I decided to make a deal on it. We went to a local pizza shop in Angelica called "My Place". We agreed on a price and we were going to leave and meet back the next week to take care of the paper work and finances. Jack insisted that I give him a deposit. I wanted to give him a check. He refused that and insisted that I pay him in cash. I was hesitant, but Jack is very personable and I spent all day with this "sweet old man", so I agreed to pay him a $1000.00 deposit in cash. He wanted more, but that was all I had on me. I than drove all the way home, which is 6 hours away. The next morning, I woke up and decided that I wanted to change my mind and buy the original property that I had looked at in Alma NY. It was a little bit cheaper and I was concerned about the money. I called Jack at 8:30am on 10/24. Jack said I could buy that property, however, that property was for sale on E-bay and if I wanted it, I would have to come right back and buy it that day. He again insisted on cash. The balance on the property was $24,500.00. I did not have that kind a cash laying around, so I started driving back to meet Jack and give him a check. I called him when I was halfway there and told him that I felt funny about giving somebody I did not know that much cash and I felt more comfortable with a check. At that point, he was not nice with me on the phone anymore. I don't know why he wanted me to meet him at a pizza shop and give him cash, and not his home. I was very skeptical now at this point and called him back and told him I wanted my $1000.00 back. I wanted to squash the deal. I told him I would drive to his home and pick it up. He told me that he already spent the money. I gave it to him at 8pm on 10/23 and requested it back at 11 am on 10/24. I didn't understand this. Jack then told me he gave the money to his wife, Sharon Liguori. I wanted to talk to her. He would not let me. He told me if I came to his house, I'd be sorry. I told him I was going to go to the police station. He told me not to do that and he promised me a refund in the form of a check mailed to me by the end of the week. I have not received it and now he keeps giving me the run around. I just want my $1000.00 returned to me. He knows that he has it and he won't return it. He is operating a business and gave me a business card and I later found out that his business was dissolved in 1997. He has numerous judgements againts him. He sell lots of properties that he has deeded in his wifes name (Sharon Liguori). His scam is that he sells these pieces of land in the mountains on ebay. He sell them to unsuspecting city folk. He promises dreams of build a log cabin get away. He finances them personally, which means if you are late on 1 payment, He sells the property to someone else. He buys up large parcels of land in his wifes name, than he deforests them and than he subdivides it into smaller parcels and resells it. You only get surface rights. He still keeps mineral rights. Most of his land is on old oil wells that he still operates. Everything is cash with him and he launders the money in his wifes name, because he has alot of judgements against him. He has so many people trying to get back at him, He won't do business on ebay unless he can get ebay to give him you personal info.
