In February I have signed a contract with the company that was supposed to pick my sailboat in Quebec, Canada, close to the border, and transport it to Placida, Florida for a total amount of $8,800. The agreed shipping date was February 25 and as instructed by the supplier, I have Wire Transferred a $1,500 deposit few days before when I was told by them that the truck was on his way to pick up my boat.
I was later told by the owner of the company, Jim Hay, that his driver had an important personal matter to attend to and that my boat transport would have to be rescheduled for following days.
Since then, I have made many calls to Mr. Hay, left many voice mails to him and wrote several emails and faxes initially requesting a new pick up date for my boat and after asking for my $1,500 deposit to be refunded. Of course none of my calls or emails were ever return by Mr. Hay.
I don't know if ever I'll get back my money, but the minimum I can do is to make aware the sailing community that this character is a crook.
