There is a bit more to the story than I originally posted. Originally I received Marks name from a neighbor who had a positive experience with Mark. The neighbor has impeccable integrity so I called Mark and asked him if he had any carts for sale and he stated he did. I went right over to his house and drove a 2005 Club car he had for sale. The unit was a great value a $2200.00 and I gave him the entire amount on the spot because when I arrived at his house there was another gentleman looking at the unit. He asked me to write the check to his mother, and I did. He drove the unit to the back of his house and promised to deliver the cart on Monday first thing. Monday came and no call from Mark. I called him and he told me that the cart wouldn't start and he brought it back to the person he bought it from to repair it. He said he would call when he heard back about the repair. He never called me back so I called him again. He stated that the unit was not worth fixing and that he was going to pick up a much nicer one the following day and that it was a 2007. I went over the following day to take a look at it and he told me the price was $2650.00. I agreed to the price and told him I would pay him the additional $450.00 when he delivered the cart. He said he would deliver it the next morning. He called me the next morning and said he had the cart on the trailer and would deliver it only if I gave him $450.00 in cash. He said because my check was an out of state, bank of america, check that he would need for me to give him cash. After hanging up I checked online to see if the $2200.00 check, I had written to his mother, had been cashed and it had. He dropped off the cart, I had him sign the bill of sale for the 2007 cart I believed I purchased, I gave him the remaining $450.00 and he was on his way.
The cart was a bit slower than I liked and I had a repairman come over to look it over and thats when the truth emerged. The rest of the story you already know.
I would appreciate any input from anyone as to what other media I could use to alert those in the villages of this scam artist. That my dear friends is the rest of the story!!!!
