Disgusted II - Warnicks fraud history... (I am fired up now)!
Appendix I – Phil Warnock’s History[1]
Between 1981 and 1990 Phil has been the principle in over 30 corporations, most of which ended in bankruptcies, owing creditors thousands and in some cases millions of dollars.
In October, 1985, the Washington Attorney General filed a complaint against Warnock and three of his companies due to consumer fraud. A consent decree was entered where Warnock owed consumer restitution of $33,215 to 9 consumers.
As of 1990, only one $500 payment was made, which was returned to the State of Washington NSF.
In November, 1990, after six months in business, the New Jolly Roger Marine Corporation, owned and operated by Phil Warnock, closed its doors for good – owing employees, federal government, state government, creditors, and customers over $280,000.
In 1993, Criminal case No. 93-1-03387-3 was investigated by Pacific Police Detective Randy Ostrander, and prosecuted by King County Fraud Division Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ivan Orton, against Philip Warnock for deliberately defrauding employees, customers, creditors, and the government.
Phil was charged with 209 counts of theft and fraud
According to Mr. Orton the number of counts filed is a record for the fraud division
On February of 1994, Phil was convicted and sentenced to 29 months in prison and over $70,000 in restitution
As of October, 2001, Phil still has not repaid his restitution under this criminal conviction from 1993 and had a hearing in December, 2001 regarding this. The court ordered Warnock to produce additional records and scheduled a new hearing for March, 2002.
In 1998, Phil Warnock married Vicky Cutchlow. Vicky, a successful realtor for Coldwell Banker, personally financed Phil in an endeavor to create a new boat company. The boats were brand named “Tiger Trax” after Vicky’s professional nickname “Vicky Tiger”
Phil, in an effort to protect corporate assets from creditors and legal judgments, operated his new boat company under four corporate names: Corporate Services Division, Financial Services Corporation, Marine Manufactures Division, & Tiger Trax Watersports.
In early 1999, Phil began to repeat his trend of defrauding creditors & customers.
In March of 2000, Greg Corlis, Vice President of Marketing & Sales, uncovered Phil’s new fraudulent activities and immediately contacted prosecutor Ivan Orton.
On the advice of the King County district attorney’s office, Greg quit his job at Tiger Trax Watersports the next week.
As Greg was leaving the company, and in an attempt to prevent further consumer abuse, he notified customers and creditors about Phil’s activities to defraud them.
Ivan reports complaints from at least seven customers to the district attorney’s office claiming fraud by Phil in 1999 or 2000. Unfortunately, so far these seven cases have not been investigated by the police department.
As a result of Greg’s efforts, and in an attempt to flee creditors and defrauded consumers, Phil had to close the doors a second time.
In 2001, Phil re-opened his boat factory for a third time, this time in La Conner, WA, presumably financed again by his wife Vicky. This time he is operating under two corporate names of: TGR Holdings Inc. & Global Marine Specialties, Inc. (DBA GMS)
In June of 2001, Phil collected $22,806 from Aaron Buerman & Scott Evans and promised to deliver a boat in three and a half weeks, we later learned that Phil had no intention of completing a boat.
In August of 2001, after receiving repeated excuses for not delivering a boat as promised, Scott & Aaron asked for the return of their money.
As of February 2002, no money has been returned
As of October 2001, Phil Warnock, Vicky Warnock, and their companies have over 20 civil judgments against them in King County from 1999-2001. These civil judgments total over $150,000[2]
Of these judgments since 1999, records indicate Phil & Vicky have satisfied only two, or $17k out of $150k decided by the civil courts.
These numbers do not include the amounts Phil still owes in restitution from his criminal conviction in 1994, or cases that were settled out of court or in other jurisdictions.

I'm in. The guy that is doing the interior of my boat used to do all of Mirages interiors. When last I spoke with him he said that the new owner (after the Microsoft guys) was a real sneaky individual known for not paying his bills. I didn't realize it was the same individual that owned Tiger Trax. What freakin amazes me is the fact that this individual is still not behind bars. What does he have to do to be put away?

ATTENTION!!!!!FRAUD ALERT!!!!!BEWARE!!!!The so called owner or Customer Service of Mirage Boats Inc, AKA Global Marine Specialties, Inc. is at it again. I have been defrauded out of $918.62. Made order for parts in June of 2010 and sent payment through PayPal money request from Global Marine Specialties, Inc. He promised to have parts to me in two weeks. After repeated phone calls and emails for over two months as to the NON- delivery of my parts, I canceled my order and requested refund. Refund was promised and now one month later, NO refund and no response to emails or phone calls. Incident has been reported to authorities and hopefully this time the judge will send them away for good!!!!
