Alvin L. Wood Marvin Enterprises Catering Phoenix Con Man - Jewelry Theft Phoenix, Arizona
I met this man through his wife. She worked at a Scottsdale jewelry store which I contacted to have my Rolex repaired. She was friendly and did take my Rolex and had it repaired. I asked her if the store did estate jewelry business and she indicated "no" but I could put you in touch with my husband and he will consign and sell your jewelry for you. Met with her husband who was so nice and cordial and we spoke about himself and his life in the antique business of which I was also. He invited me to their home and I enjoyed the visit and seeing his new puppies (5) and he also visited me at my home with his wife. I felt like they were part of my family and were going to do a great job selling my jewelry.
This was in 2007. In 2008 I asked him to return my jewelry as it was not selling except for a few items; ie, another Rolex, 24K chain and pendant and misc. gold jewelry which he promised to pay me. He asked me to meet him at a restaurant in Phoenix and would bring my jewelry and money. When he sat down he told me he had bad news in that his home was broken into and my jewelry was stolen along with his wife's jewelry and other personal items. Said he had reported this to the police that day and will send me the money from his insurance company when the claim arrives. I was heartbroken because I really wanted my 2carot diamond ring back along with other heavy 254Kt gold and diamond pieces totaling approx. $25,000. He returned a few inexpensive items only.
I tried contacting him about the insurance and never heard from him again. Called the Police Department and verified there was never a robbery at this home. Have not heard from him since. There are other reports on this website about him and he is still out there scamming others in the years following my experience.
They need to be investigated and charged. I am still working on that.

It has come to my attention that there is a rip off report attached to my name. After further investigating there certainly is, but i also have found out there are three Alvin wood's in Phoenix AZ. Don't really know how to go about this but this Alvin Wood is not connected to the report given on rip off report. Really wish there were someway to confirm and individual to which one is being blamed. I certainly feel sorry for those that have a common name in this world. This report was brought to my attention by a client of mine whom I was doing some work on their home. I was dumb founded not to mention slightly embarrassed. i felt an obligation to give them an answer after I investigated the question for myself, which I did, and all is well. What a coincidence having three people with the same name, within a 50 mile radius. That old saying of its a small world, holds truth.
