I spoke with Chris, and made him aware of this thread. He will either respond tonight when he gets home here on OSO, or speak to you personally. I pretty much told him I dont wanna have to take sides, just get it resolved.

He can respond all he wants. Last I talked to him on Tuesday he said his money market account was to transfer funds into his business account to make check good by that day at 4:00 pm. I went to his bank at 4:30 check was still no good.

Unless he makes the check good by the end of the week it's out of my hands. Thanks for your help. All thats been said by me is true, I was even nice enough to deposit the 1350$ into his account here from Santa Barbara so he did not have to wait for the mail.

im thinkin it outta be taken outta his azzzzzzz

Bling Bling!

Hope this gets resolved fast. Hate to see anybody getting riped off.

This is none of my business, but I hate seeing people get screwed.

Rick there is really nothing he can say about passing a fraudulent check. At this point, words mean nothing.... he is obviously not a man of his word. Why believe him now?

Bling.... Dont give him but one more day (close of business Friday), then just turn it over to the authorities and let them handle this guy. By stringing you along it weakens your case, IMO. If he hasnt made it right by now, he will never make it right. Atleast by having him incarcerated, it gives you a little justice.

It never ends.
Good Luck.

Post his contact information. Maybe we can "reason" with him.

Never underestimate the power of OSO.

Not sure how it works, but if he sent the check through the U. S Postal Service, would that be mail fraud??? If so that's a federal issue.

It seems those of us who have boats like these are targets of the marine world. I guess they think we have more money then sense. Not me, I can tell when I'm being hustled..I pay and move on to another mechanic. You have to be alert (informed) when dealing with marine mechanics. They love to run up the bill because you have $$$ toys....just my .02

most of our toys arent cheap..unfortunatly big money attracts big thieves.
