SCAM- Landlords- Crooks

So as you all know our house burnt down August 25 2012... Well since we did not have insurance we had to rent a place... We found this place on Craigslist a trailer located at 3656 Columbia Highway Leesville SC 29070 it is in Saluda County.. Well our Landlord Don phone number 864-354-8767 seemed ok at first but real weird... Well he had us selling stuff for him for instance 55 gallon Barrels $15.00 Each 275 Gallon Drums for $75.00 Each and other Barrels for prices like anywhere between $5.00 to $10.00 he also sells Go Carts ranging in prices of $400.00 to $800.00 and he sells Golf Carts he sold on for $2200.00 Cash and has more for sale for around $3000.00.... He sold a Semi Truck for my guess of a price of $10,000.00 CASH... He told us everything must be cash transactions, we even had to pay rent and utilities in cash only $400.00 a month for rent $35.00 a month for use of Well Water plus Electric but that is all good But when we payed the Electric and then find out from the electric company that they haven't payed the bill in 2 months so they are shutting it off and to top it off the electric is in a James Stapleton of 247 Nautical Shores Leesville SC 29070 who I guess is the true land owners name... I guess this is why Don would say he had to call James every time we would tell him there was something wrong... We have told Don of many problems and yet he never fixed any of them for an example when it would rain one of the windows would leak water in the house, the drain on the sink leaked, some of the outlets in the house would only work when they wanted too there was a hole in one of the bedroom walls, there was wires hanging out, and for the huge problem the SEPTIC TANK was overflowing in to the YARD... we kept telling Don about the problem and got no response from him so I called the Health Department and they sent him a notice to fix the health hazard but now both Don and James have both fled the state and wont even contact us to try and fix this mess they have caused... In my opinion Don and James are SCAM ARTIST who only want payments in cash so that they can avoid paying taxes considering Don didn't have any idea how many barrels he has sold or how much rent we payed him... I would say if you ever see any Craigslist post with Dons name or phone number 864-354-8764 or even James Stapletons name AVOID that Post they will screw you over...

The trust of the Internet

People are starting to be more cautious of webpages now... I do not blame anyone for wanting to look to make sure that a webpage is real or not.... Someone ran into my blog while looking to be sure a company online was real and after thinking about it I don't blame the person at all.... There are so many people out there who has destroyed the trust of valid webpages because they make some to steal your information... This is not right people should be able to surf the web in safety and not have to worry if a webpage is a valid one or a fake one.. These fake websites are causing the real legit  businesses online to loose business because people are afraid...

How the Banks are Crooks

So one day I called my bank "Wells Fargo" and told them because my account was negative and a new charge just went thru that day. I told the I was going to go and put the money in, and they said OK and told me how negative the account was... Well not even an hour after I got off the phone with them they reversed the charge that came in that day after the overdraft fee was given... I didn't notice this until after I put the money in the account and I only had enough money to cover what they told me I owed which was before the overdraft fee was issued... Well as days went on the charge never came back and I was hoping it would wait till I got more money since things are real tight these days... Well they didn't so as we all can imagine they re-put that charge back that they already charged me and told me when I called them the first time just so they could get another overdraft fee out of me for something I told them I was coming into the bank to take care of... So now I am back to an overdraft on my account again... Just wish they would have not decided to take that charge away when I told them I was coming to take care of it... It just shows the only thing a bank wants out of you is your money and they will find a way to get as many fees out of you as they can...
