SCAM ALERT SCAM ALERT

Early 2000's....

I bought a $650.00 used plasma cutter on ebay...seller was in GA.

Never shipped it... Went back and forth with no resolution.

I'm a trucker so I got a load to GA....delivered that then reloaded for home but went thru Marrietta where he lived.

I called the local sheriff and told the dispatcher what the deal was...I was going to his house to get my stuff. She told me OK, and they would send a deputy if I wanted help, but she told me to call the DA, too. They have a fraud unit that would help if I needed it.

I called the scumbag and told him I was coming over...I wasn't going to leave without my plasma cutter.

I got to his house in a nice section of town. I had dropped my trailer so I parked my Peterbilt infront of his driveway.

About an hour later a BIG guy came out...he was about 7' tall! Came to the door of my Pete and looked right in my window....he apologized for the hassle, said his brother was on dope and was making bad decisions.

Then he let me in the house...the whole living room was full of toolboxes, welders, air compressors and the like. He told me they buy wrecks and part them out "out back".

I left withy plasma cutter... I'm just glad he didn't part ME out...out back!
