Shawn Steele Tried to use me and my paypal account to rip off another individual Pensacola Florida
I was unaware that there was a website like this until now. A few years ago a Pensacola resident by the name of Shawn Steele came into my place of work and tried to broker a deal with the owner for some golf balls. While doing so he noticed that I was using my paypal account on the computer and asked if he could have me recieve a payment in which I would be paid a percentage. He sold some audio equipment to a guy in South Florida by the name of Jonnie Cook. Payment was received from Mr. Cook and I cut Shawn a check minus the percentage he agreed to pay me. Well a month later paypal contacts me and lets me know that Mr. Cook filed a complaint and never recieved his speakers. So basically there were no speakers. I ended up losing $1800.00 dollars over this and was never reimbursed. I finally got on the escambia county clerk of court and looked at public court records and I was amazed. Several months later he ended up doing the same thing to my boss for a lot more money. I will have him share his story in the following weeks. I have since met around 10-15 people that have their own complaints with this individual and we are working to see that justice is served.

Well I just now read the rebuttal and I found it quite interesting it was almost as Shawn himself or a friend of his was writing it. Our lawyer suggest that these or any of the outcomes that you wrote aren't even options for the Court. We are looking at taking every and all actions we can including cooperating with the States Attorney with several other victims. This guy has been behind bars before. It will happen again. His family must be really proud of their son. HE HAS A GREAT BOOKING PHOTO!!!

I think the bigger problem is someone else aka the person your trying to bring justice may bring justice to you. why?
1> you gave him access and you knew he was selling something so your basicly seen as a accomplice to his actions until proven notguilty and the way it looks is you may end up as a defendant.
2> if he ends up having shipping info he may get away even if it is a fake shipping info.
3> hopefully some of the people complaining to his actions have proof that he was doing these terrible things to support a case against him cause right now he could have used your identities to sell these items and he may be seen as an accomplice and you guys as the perpetrators.
