Mukilteo Small Appliance Scam AKA BEWARE of SCAM! Selling Appliances on Craigslist that don't work! Mukilteo Washington
Beware! Mukilteo Craigslist Small Appliance Scammer
There is a man about 35 years of age advertising used espresso machines, juicers, wine chillers, and other small appliance on Craigslist in Mukilteo, WA. He ripped me off, and I found another report on www.ripoffreport.com from a man named Dan, in Edmonds, who got ripped off buying a used juicer that never worked, and could not get a refund.

He sold me a Starbucks Barista Espresso Machine for $140. When I plugged it in it did absolutely nothing. I contacted him back by phone and texted him and he stated he did not refund money. I took the back off and there were no wires connected to the power switch. Even when I connected the wires, the pump would not pump water to the boiler. A replacement pump is $78. I guess it's my bad, as I trusted this man to be truthful.
His cell phone is 425-248-1506. I guess he goes by the name of "Mike", although not sure that is his real name. He drives an very, very sharp, new orange Corvette convertible, license plate 690XEH.
Overall lesson, when buying used items, be sure they work. People are not born with a lack of integrity, but somewhere along the line some people fall into making small compromises, and then it turns into big ones. Turn yourself around Mike! Your character is all you have.

I would just like to get things straight,and let the truth be known,first off the person(keith heitzman) that is trying to play the victim and made the false and completely untrue report is not a victim or was scammed in anyway,but in all truthfulness is nothing but a lowlife criminal and is soon going to be brought up on charges of thief of property,defamation of character,slander,and hopefully for making false reports to the police.the truth is a the real story of what actually happened is that after being contacted well over 2 weeks from when the machine was sold to keith heitzman i told him i'd look at that machine or exchange it out for a different one, and being a man of my word, i agreed to meet him to exchange it for a different same model machine, fact is when i met the lowlife to exchange out the so called "broken" espresso machine that he claimed was not working, he decided to make a false report to police that there was some sort of a physical arguement that i found out later, which was completely false and untrue, which the police seen there wasnt and left,then while showing the so called victim(keith heitzman) the other i was going to exchange for the original machine, i knoticed that he didnt have the original one sold to him, and thats when he unplugged and and grabbed the machine that we discussed i'd exchange out for the original one and ran out the door and got into his ford ranger pick up truck that another person was sitting in the passenger seat of and while i repeatly said to him that what he was doing was commiting theft and was a crime, but he didnt care at all and drove away with my property he had just stolen from me. do not let this liar try and make himself out to be a victim in anyway,because he is far from that, and the truth is he is nothing less of petty lowlife thief and a criminal that should be and hopefully soon in jail for theft of personal property and his other criminal actions.
I will not stop untill he has to face the consequenses of his criminal actions of making false statements,lying to police and the theft of my personal property (which he still has currently and is in possesion of)which i would believe to be possession of stolen property.
