On around 9/10/08 Ryan Mattox sent us a sample of recycled plastic that he had for sale. We approved the sample and placed an order with him. On 9/18/08 we wire-transferred $7,560.00 into a JP Morgan account in Indianapolis. This amount represented a 40% down payment per the terms of our agreement. The account was listed as "Jacob Furgerson/Itasca Polymers". The load of plastic was to arrive at our warehouse on 9/20/08. It did not. On 9/21/08 i sent Mattox an email of inquiry and got a response from him saying that the load would arrive our warehouse at 4:45 pm on 9/23/08. It did not.
That email was the last time i was in contact with Mattox. I have phoned, faxed, emailed, and sent numerous text messages to him. Mattox is nowhere to be found. I have reported the incident to the FBI, FTC and to the Tennessee Attorney General's Office. Each agency is investigating the situation.
