Default Beware of Dealing with this Deadbeat!

Mike Madison West Babylon, NY

I performed a survey for him on a 2007 26' Larson express. Decided that partial payment was enough and hangs-up when I call him. Complains that a pump didn't work AFTER he told the broker the boat was perfect when he received it.

Eventually he paid me in full.

Now I get paid up-front if the customer isn't present at the survey.
This guy wired the money to the broker, but not enough to fully cover my survey. He promised the broker he would send me a check for the shortage, but now has decided he's above paying. He owns a body shop in West Babylon.

Thanks! Is there anything I should be watching for down here for you? There are plenty of good deals around.

unfortunately the scum bags of the world always know how to work the system...and do it rather well... Eventually it will catch up with them....one way or another.

I didn't start this thread as a witch hunt. Just want to warn members of my OSO family about a deadbeat boater.
