Nelson came to me 4 years ago asking for help, he said he is trying to start his own auto body shop business and needs help financing it and is willing to split the profit 50%. Together we will be flipping cars - he will buy, repair and sell, my part is only financing. He was convincing enough, signed a contract about the whole process, provided his IDs and address. So we started this so-called 'business'.
A week later he came with a cheque of my initial investment plus a profit, then he showed me another opportunity for higher returns and even told me that he will leave a Toyota Venza worth $20K with me as collateral until he pays me in full. How can I refuse? So we wrote another contract and I paid him more money, but immediately he drove off with that Toyota.
I called him and he said his son had broken his foot during a soccer match and had to rush to the hospital. I believed him and called him couple of days later asking if his son was ok, he didn't know what I was talking about, then he remembered his lie and said yes he's ok and that he will bring the car same day.
A week later and after multiple calls he calls me back that he's in Cuba with an emergency, then he came back to my place and asked for more money since the car he fixed came out with an issue and he needs to do more repairs to recover our investment, I refused and asked for my initial investment back and didn't ask for any profit at that point.
Another week later all his phone numbers were disconnected and he's nowhere to be found.
A year later I found him and served him with court papers.
We went for mediation, his wife was there too and he threatened the judge and myself that he prefers to declare bankruptcy than pay my money!
A month later we went to court and the judge issued a judgement against him and ordered him to pay the full amount back (file# SC-16-00005391-0000)
He gave me post-dated cheques which bounced (of course) and cost me $105 NSF fees for 3 of them.
That was on Nov 2016 and after thousands of dollars of investigator and court fees he still hasn't paid a cent and hiding from me.
Now I have hired a lawyer to take him to supreme court with criminal charges against him.
I have all the initial text messages, voice messages and contracts as evidence where he has admitted he owes me the money.
Can't wait to hear your story with this jerk, please write.
