You mean to tell me that I'm the only one to get beat by this guy!! I thought this cat was reputable. Any ideas on what the next course of action should be. Thanks.

Berg-Man: Too bad about your dealings with this guy, but for meaningful advice, I think more details are necessary. For instance, where do you live and where does the "suspect" live? What kind of arrangement did you both have going in? How was the initial deal arranged? Have you attempted other methods of making contact or making formal demands, etc. Have you created a step-by-step recordation of the process (dates, times, locations, exact conversations, documentation, etc.)?

There may be a crime involved - or it just may be a civil dispute. A lot depends on the jurisdiction(s), the amount involved, and the agreement. DAVE

don't know if this might be a factor

complications after surgery? no real excuse for lack of communication though.

hope it works out for you.

The complications theory works o.k. if the guy hadn't cashed the check. Now that's complicated!
