David Clark Casto - Palatka FL - Need some help
 

I purchased a pair of motors he was selling in the classifieds. I wired the money after looking at photos and build sheets.

He contacted me about the shipping and was going to get me a PRO number when they were picked up.

Well guess what, he is now in the wind and I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could provide.

I google maped the address and it came up as a business address

on the word doc he sent me it was "owned" by Chop Shop Customs

all the pics were uncompressed so they were originals, I have since looked deeper at them and they were taken in october of 08

the original ad is now been removed but if you google the phone number the cached ad is still available

His email is [email protected]

I wired the funds to Prosperity Bank on hiway 19

Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated and I am attemtping to get in contact with the local authorities and work or options through my bank

Thanks

So I bet his probation officer could find him...

So I bet his probation officer could find him...

Bet i can find him first.

In how many pieces??

Update..... No longer on probation it was terminated unsucssfully

Have talked to putnam co sherriff but they wanted me to work locally so filed report with my leo's with all pertinent info I have

filled out a report on IC3 to get feds involved

verified account is still open at bank

Will I ever see my cash again, probably not, but will he go back to jail again probably, but I would be happier with my cash back.

Thanks...keep us posted.

Gotta love the power of the internet, OSO and the boating community at large :)
