#2: The "Community" sees to it that the shop receives proper representation so that a scammer (and not a first time scammer mind you), learns a lesson that he will never forget.

there is no right or wrong...we are in a grey area when dealing with this, but we live in a democracy, where the majority make the laws and the decisions, and at this point, WE are the majority, and we want to see this kid punished.

If the shop does not have $1000 for the retainer by 5pm tomorrow, I will donate the difference. We are at what? $775 so far, only $225 to go.

Teach this kid and future scammers that this will NOT be tolerated in our community.

Can we find an attorney to donate their time to this shop?

Aaron, don't listen to any of these negative on the donation guy's. If I (and I am sure others will agree) truely cared what you did with this money we wouldn't be sending it your way.

Only you (people invovled) truely know where this money needs to go. I am sure all can agree we just want to see it used wisely, as I am sure it will be. If you need it to keep a roof over your families head then do so, if you need it to put this guy in his place then do so.

If I were local to you, I would pull my normal strings and gets some business in the door for you. Unfortunately, I am just to far away. I am a small business man myself, I never want to see another little guy go.

Good luck, people here in Nashville, Tn are on your side.

why are you name calling and getting personal? It's my opinion and many others that he shouldn't have accepted the donations even if people offered. Let me repeat that... OPINION

Lots of douchebags on this forum like you.

Good luck OP. Get that POS.

Just so you know, the majority of this site is in Tampa, and G-ville is 120 miles away @ $4/gal....

How about calling up Big Daddy, and using his place. He's had a few gatherings there... It's closer to tampa...

If an attorneys office wants to donate their time, this will make for some great publicity and advertising for them. Does anyone know of anyone who would do that?
