I'd suggest consulting with your legal representation to determine if what you are proposing is feasible/legal.

I want to say that in at least NY, that an underage person couldn't enter into a legal contract. But I'm not a legal eagle either.


BTW: Sorry this is dragging out.

According to Google, and several social media outlets, Zak appears to be 19, Wow, could Bob have lied about that too?? I am shocked!!  lol.

According to the bill of sale and the registration that was sent that Zak ( in his own hand writting) discribes himself as an officer of the company.

 My lawyer thought that that was amuseing and interjected that Zak just added himself to the defendant list!

  TA I think I can find that DOC and if I can't my lawyer has a copy if it helps you in your endevors!

I asked the police and Attorney General's office today.  I hope to hear back soon.  I almost hope he was telling the truth for once and he'd get caught for something so stupid.  It's amazing that something like this could cause him a problem, but stealing over $500,000 from people gets him nothing.

Finally a little good news - sort of.  I was allowed to place an ad in his local paper, the Ashville Citizen Times.  Maybe this will get his attention and he'll actually give me a call back.  It'll stay in until he does.  Would any other victims like to place ads too?  They're very reasonably priced.  I'm hoping that a news agency will take notice or a neighbor or friend might be able to recognize him and pass on that I'm trying to reach him.

Here's the ad:
Widow w/kids seeks $13,000 from Ashville area auto shop specializing in vintage Pontiacs and Camaros - 9 aliases - 3 shops in Black Mountain, Fairview, and Swannanoa. They promised they would build a Bandit for my husband.  He died only 3 days after paying in full.  All I got was a very small partial refund (it keeps the police off their back), a worthless piece of paper, & a lot of lies.   Well over $500,000 in cars/refunds owed to dozens of other victims. It's been over 5 months and the owner refuses all communication. I have a signed contract from owner's stepson/build coordinator as well as e-mails from owner with his promise to honor contract and policy for widows. All expired long ago.  Please e-mail edcarolinathol@yahoo.com

I haven't heard anything yet.  It's only been 160 plus days.  I have to keep reminding myself that some of you guys have been waiting years.

Rainman - just promise that you won't start ripping off dozens of people to the tune of $500,000 or more and I think we're good. ;D
I know that's just so tempting for the average person.

Well Carol if I'm going to do it I'm going big . Thinking about the possibilities with those trucks that transport the cash to the bank . That money is insured and the little guys don't get hurt .
SDperformance may wonder why I'm buying a stroker with cash though  . Might be a red flag ?

Well I suspect were going to have some disappointed people today . Understandable though as didn't Bob have yet another family emergency recently and also had  to train all new staff?
I'm suprize he hasn't started a reality show yet . Couldn't be any worse than those people chasing pigs
