Unhappy Another victim

I have also been victimized. He has collected funds, actually did deliver a vehicle, but never paid the dealer, who now wants a new lease on different terms. Noresponse, just like in this case doesn't answer phone, return calls, or live up to his agreements.

I intend to pursue both civil and criminal actions. He has very likely engaged in both multiple acts of wire and mail fraud, federal offenses.

If you are interested in working with me, please reply with contact info.

Taking him to court

I've given him until Monday to return my funds, after that I am going to a lawyer and refering this to the Dept of Justice.

Thanks for your help. I'll get in touch if we need to track him down, I hope he would rather return my money than spend time in a Federal prison........

Last Emperor, how old are you? You sound like a kid in some of your posts. This offer was suspicious from day one when you posted that thread about your lease. It was way too good to be true. It doesn't come as a suprise that you were scammed.

I hope you get your money back, but to be brutally honest it was almost a given that this would happen.

Not calling him out, but I remember his first thread about his lease, and even then other members were totally skeptical and asked him to scan his lease contract. The entire thing seemed way too good to be true. It really doesn't come as a surprise, in todays times/economy when something is to good to be true 9/10 it's a scam.

im 28

i was one of the skeptics if you read the thread
i said it was worth a shot to see if he would deliver

as far as getting scammed tho, i thought the scam would be that he just wouldnt get the car for the quoted price. or that it was a full 60 month lease

to be honest, i didnt expect him to take a deposit and dissapear

its all good tho,i found him and got my money back

and found what i believe to be a great deal on the car
straight from the source itself.....MB

screw this last emperor guy.
he stacked up over 700 posts in a matter of weeks.
about 95 percent of those posts are total crap and a total waste of peoples time.


Honestly i think youre complete bs and i think you even made up the other screen names to "seem" like you have an actual problem in your life when you don't.

Probably what happened was you just couldnt afford it, or it just didn't work out there is no need to cook up this magical fairy tale.

www.directleaseamerica.com is the company

ive tracked all his #s and got some of his info, but he is out of state, and im in NY

on his website, it lists the company in YORK, PA.

when i left the depoist, his business was registered in BOYNTON BEACH, FL.
(i believe his father has an office there...i have the address)

and his cell phone and residence comes up as SAN JOSE, CA.





at this point, i dunno what to do.

i would find him and break his head....but that would get me in trouble
UNFORTUNATELY



am hoping some of you guys have usefull advice


if anyone is in the CA, PA, or FL area.....and willing to go check out his office, i will PAY YOU HANDSOMELY!!!


at this point i wouldnt mind giving the whole thousand away just to find this guy


i was told to sue him, as i have reciepts and contracts and all...
but not sure how this would work out of state, and lawyers would cost me more $$$


any help is GREATLY apreciated!

thanks fellas......good thing the 63 is still on oredr from RAY CATENA tho
Sorry to here this, hope you get your money back!

Even this year? Just kidding, I'm surrounded by this mess as well so I just know there's not much money this year.

Congrats on getting your money back while learning the lesson -- sometimes it's always better to pay a little bit more. And that bit more is for assurance. It's priceless. Enjoy the AMG when it arrives !
