Report Abuse

Thanks for everyone's input. I'm not going to pay a lawyer to advise me. The deposit we lost amounted to $925. I'm not going to small claims court, I live in CA and he lived in MA, so that's not an option I'll check into filing a lien . I know whatever he owned is called"estate". On the internet I was only able to turn up his street name and city, not the actual address. I'll have to figure out how to file a claim against his "estate" without knowing his address. On another level, in a way I feel like letting the whole thing go. How desperate does someone have to be to scam people? Maybe he did it all his life, maybe not. He died young,57 . Maybe he was sick, maybe he ended his on life. Who knows???
