Another Scammer!

Just finished reading the epic cell phone scam post and felt all sorts of emotions ranging from frustration, sadness, anger and delight.
I was scammed over a year ago but I had no idea what to do. I went to the police but they basically told me there is nothing they can do about it since I agreed in principle even though I did not receive any product or services for it.
A guy comes to my store pitching LED products and all that. Saying how he can get great prices on bulbs and such. It would save on power and hydro bills in the long run. He pitched his sale which would have cost over $5000. It was a big investment to change all the lighting so I didn't agree to the entire project. However I told him I would start with some simple changes, adding some strips along the window among other things. If it worked out I would proceed with the rest of the project.
He came back a few days later with some samples of what he could install. I picked out a few items. He sent me a quote asking for a deposit of $1000. I wrote him a cheque.
Then he told me he will order the products but would take 4-6 weeks to arrive.
- 8 weeks pass and he said the product is delayed.
- Another month later he said the equipment is still on the way, just waiting for some final parts, he's almost done getting everything together (this was where it started to get suspicious because he was only picking up the phone every 4-5 calls and not returning any of my messages)
- A few more weeks pass without a word so when I got a hold of him I told him that I would like my deposit back because it was taking way too long.
Now he comes up with some sob story about how the parts he purchased were not right so he had to return them and now his supplier is scamming him? I told him sorry but it's not really my business how you deal with your buyers but I need my deposit back.
He said he's in a financial bind and can't come up with the money to return to me. Begs me for a few months to work it out and make some money.
This then turned in a frustrating game of cat and mouse where he would not pick up the phone or answer my texts for days, sometimes over a week. He would tell me things like he had to sell his truck to make ends meet, please give him more time, etc. I went to his store to try and settle it in person but it was closed. His website has since been taken down too.
It's been roughly 5 months now since he last replied to my text message, his cell phone rings once and then goes to voicemail. His voicemail still says "Hi thanks for contacting "_____ lighting co", please leave a message" so I'm to believe he's still in business or worse, still scamming other stores/houses.
I've all but given up hope of seeing my money but the cell phone thread reminded me of this.
I've also filed a complaint to the BBB but no idea if that means anything.
I have his full name and number, and while reading through the cell phone thread I did something that I neglected to do and searched Facebook, and found him. Although I can't see much of his info as we are not friends? The last "public" update I can see on his page is from April 2012 but I don't know if he has private updates. His cover pic also has his company logo on it too.
Anything can be done Revscene detectives?

Unfortunately no, just the invoice.
It was a small job and didn't think much about it, never been scammed like this before. Maybe I'm stupid, but it wasn't really a "speaker out of a white van" scenario so I wasn't as cautious as I should have been. Learned my lesson that's for sure.
How these people can go around spending money they cheated from hard working individuals is sickening.
It would benefit the whole community if you post his real name or company name here. Then, I'm sure someone must know somebody who know this guy.

Fuck RS protocol and scammer apologists. Let the fucker burn and do as you please with the info you have at your disposal.
This is a good example of apologists who think that scammers should be left for the law to deal with. This incident does bring back a couple memories from friends who have been scammed (one was a Craigslist concert ticket scam, the other an apartment rental scam). Both reported to the police but basically told both of them they're SOL - and there's nothing they either can, or will do (I forgot which).

Ok, his name is Rick McMaster. It was pretty easy to Facebook search, can't believe I didn't think of it sooner, although even then I wouldn't know what to do with it. I mean he's not responding to my phone texts I doubt a FB message would yield different results.
The company he operates is called Diode Lighting. A quick google search shows that he has 5 complaints with the Better Business Bureau with a F rating. So it's safe to assume I wasn't the first person he scammed?
Pulled this from his profile (he's on the left, the right is Gilbert Gottfried):

I know, I know, but he was a freelance startup company selling light bulbs. I didn't think much about it since it was a minor project to get some lights swapped. I guess it's because I never got scammed before so I wasn't as cautious. *sigh* :(

I drove to that Yukon address before, and it's empty, although you can see the outline of a "Diode Lighting" sticker on the window.

Texted him at 10:11pm. He replied at 10:18 after I threatened him with finding his residential address and filing small claims court.
He finally replied after avoiding me for half a year.
His reply was:
"How much do I owe you?"
I said $1000.
It's now 10:55, he didn't say anything since then.

From the replies so far, Revscene seem to have a lot less pull on this guy than on Alex Park. Especially since the person who scammed you is not a board member nor an active participant on RevScene.
If the guy has pulled this type of stunts a few times, he would be pretty blase about threats etc by now.

You dont really need a lawyer for small claims (although i guess its recommended if you have no idea what to do). but you can thoroughly read through this procedure (http://www.ag.gov.bc.ca/courts/small_claims/info/guides/making_a_claim.htm) and it'll give you a good idea of what to do if you dont want to take the lawyer route. You can even fill out the notice of claim online and print it out with their filing assistant. theres filing fees for starting a claim, but its just added onto the 1000$ bill the scammer owes you if he loses. the whole process takes a long time though

Kisame
01-28-2015, 10:48 PM
it is a long process, but there is always the opportunity to settle out of court once the notice of claim has been served. who knows, maybe getting served some papers will make him want to pay you back before it reaches a judge. or he could be an asshole and draw it out as long as possible for you.

Pull is all about leverage; not whether said scammer is a board member or not.
With Alex Park, exposure posed a threat to his career/livelihood. As for Rick McMaster, nobody has really been able to figure that out yet.

Well it's not really like that, I do want my money. I just wanted to ask the RS community if there was any alternative (better) way to deal with this rather than take the long and tedious small claims route. Better yet I was hoping someone here might know him personally and told him to man the fuck up. RS is a big community and Vancouver is city afterall.
A thought I had would be messaging all his friends on FB exposing him and maybe forcing him to pay. Is that wise?

^ Last attempt to try and scare the scammer in paying him back before OP actually spends his time on a claim probably.
the condescending tone of being called "champ" is essentially telling you to fuck off.
lots of people like his work? OP wouldn't know, he didn't do any...
if it wasn't a straight up scam it was one of those guys working out of the back of his car trunk with no cash flow using your $ to fund his current job while hoping his next client will then fund yours...when he runs in to a cash flow problem one or more clients gets fucked over...the unlucky one happened to be OP...

the condescending tone of being called "champ" is essentially telling you to fuck off.
lots of people like his work? OP wouldn't know, he didn't do any...
I think you need to re-read that text and give it a bit more thought, pal.

How do I serve him in person? I can't camp outside his house all day (assuming he still lives there) ...
Regarding the texts, here it is...

This was followed by me telling him that it's a thousand bucks that he stole with no intention of returning. No reply since.

I'm not saying OP should beat him senselessly, but at the very least strike some fear into this guy. Guys like him who scam people will continue to scam anyone they want knowing there's no consequences for there actions.

Just get your money back. Fuck giving him chances. Fuck him. $1000 is a lot of money. Scorch the earth. If he didn't want to get fucked over, he shouldn't have ripped you off.
There's no sense in being nice. Civil but seriously, fuck them. Would you give someone money to help their cousin's boyfriend who's being chased by gangsters? No? Then don't treat scammers like they're people. They're not. All they are is some red numbers on your budget. Your objective is to get your money back. I wouldn't have given that guy any notice because...fuck him.

Yeah no. Even uttering threats can land you in hot water with the police.
- Advantage: Scammer.

Clicking on the image insta opens them in a new tab for me, not sure why it's different for you (I've never seen it happen). W7 x64/Firefox 35.0.1 if that helps.

Skinny, what sort of dinosaur computer are you running? :p
CTRL + mouse wheel for zooming works on images too.
As for the text.
The guy pretty much just told you to fuck off.
Don't expect to see it again.
But just for that. I'd go postal on his ass.
Don't threaten with violence.
Pretty sure RS can dig up more info.
A little bit of leverage can move mountains.
p.s.
$1000 would almost buy my dream knife.
That's a very not-cool amount to be fucked over with :(

Don't forget to put his number on craigslist. Put him in the w4m and casual encounters w4m. see how fast it takes his email to be flooded and how fast his phone can die from all the calls being sent.

A claim has been filed and now we wait... although he has said to give him a month to pay it directly so it doesn't go to court but can't really believe anything this rat says now.

Hey, sorry I kinda forgot about posting in here and didn't see your reply. I asked a respectable friend in our community and go some info... His new business and other shops he ripped off. Ill PM you the info.
What I can say is that he's a sketchy scumbag and full of shit, this is the type of guy that would steal one of my 5c candies.
