Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I bought a painting on ebay Item number: 220271541846 from an Alvin Wood in 2215 East Ross Ave, Phoenix, Arizona 85024 480-720-2284 . I sent the painting to Fine Art Experts out on the east coast and they deemed the painting a fake.

I filed a claim with Paypal PP-566-954-364 which was awarded in my favor. They instructed me to FIRST send the painting back to Alvin Wood and then he would refund my money.

Well guess what? Little Alvin has my painting and my $3177 to boot. He has had it since November 1st and hasn't refunded a dime. I called Paypal many times before they finally gave me $2000 of it back due to their protection plan. But I had to call like 8 times before someone even decided to do that.

I then filed complaints with the FTC, San Jose BBB , Omaha Attorney General (as paypal should have never had me send a fraudulent painting back to it's owner) and the FBI Internet Fraud Division.

Guess what I still haven't seen a dime of the $1177 still owed to me. The FBI did leave a voice mail on Alvin's phone. Alvin said he was going to take care of it. That was 3 weeks ago. He's whining that his paypal account is blocked. The FBI agent actually acted like I was the bad guy for blocking his paypal and ebay account. I told him that PAYPAL does that on their own.

Oh yea Paypal and the Phoenix police are trying to tell me this is a civil case and not criminal. How can it NOT be criminal as the guy flat outright stole $3177 from me by not sending me my money back when the painting was returned. The amount makes it Felony Theft as well. Also it would be a Fine Art Fraud as well beings he sold the painting as an "ORIGINAL GUSTAVE MUSS-ARNOLT.

What can I do here to get this man arrested and charged? The FBI isn't going to do anything. The Phoenix Police already stated they weren't going to do anything.

I'm I screwed out of the money and is this little weasel going to get to sell that painting all over again?

Dan and everyone else pegged this thief to a tee! Sorry to all who fell for this theiving blood sucking moron!This indeed is the real deal Alvin l. Wood the theiven theif himself! He wood rob his grandmother's grave if he could! T

ake a close look at his mugshot and Steer clear of him when you see his faceI Do not conduct any kind of business with this thief because he will rob you! Do not hire him for any kind of handyman services, plumbing, estate planning or any kind of consigning, Do not even allow him on your property for anything or any reason because you will be ripped off one way or another and be call to his next victim.

I reside in same town as the scumbag and his theiving name is all over the streets here. He has robbed me for hundreds of dollars as well as many other people I know of in my area. He's a wanted man! Only a con man and theif lives like he does, no matter what time of day or night you drive by his residence there's never a light on or vehicle parked in driveway, he lives very seclusive, is rarely seen in public and that to me fits the exact profile of a theiving theif that he definitely indeedly is so rightously accused of and Do Not Buy his BS story about three other Chipmunks living in same area with same name cause Alvin l.

Wood that IS YOU? Stand right up cause your the real thief on What's in it for me, forget you. Alvin you can not deny your ugly mugshot you were hatched with chipmunk you piece of useless work! I 'm to so sick and tired of these useless theiving scumbags ripping off honest hard working people to scam ahead in this world!

Get a real honest life loser or better yet go back to the Woods where you were hatched chipmunk! Beware of this chipmunk driving a white Ford van posing as a handyman, contractor or plumber because I it is just a ploy to gain access into your residence to roto rooter you dry!

#4UPDATE Employee ..inside information

 I don't know about there being 3 other alvin l woods within a 50 mile radius but i would be willing to bet that not all 3 are in the handyman business and happen to do a substantial amount of business on eBay selling various items. The Alvin L Wood i know lives at (((REDACTED)))37th Ave in Phoenix (((REDACTED))) and works as a handyman although he frequently misleads his clients into believing her is a registered contractor. In the past has had a relationship with a realtor that provided him the opportunity of liquidating the assets of the realtors client and in the process of doing that Alvin always took for himself whatever he felt was valuable and re sell on eBay or at a flea market in Prescott Arizona.. Currently he is 53 years old, drives a white van with ladder racks on top including blue ladders. His quality of work in the construction trades ranges frim completely derelict to marginal at best. He more often then not leaves his clients feeling like they were taken advantage of and in many cases have to have the work redone correctly after Alvin has screwed it up.. If you' re considering hiring this man. Save yourself the aggravation and hire anyone else but him. This is the same Alvin L. Wood. With salt and pepper gray hair appriximately 5'7" 170 lbs he is Italian and has two dogs Bailey and Liston. His favorite thing to do is purchase boxes and boxes of baseball cards and look for ones of value and resell on eBay. He also claims to have owned a catering company and sells other people's items on consignment. He its always claiming he has been robbed so you can almost guarantee anything yoiu give him will be"stolen" and out will be but only by him not a would be robber. What i don't understand is how what he does is absolutely theft and criminal yet he continues to get away with it with no consequences. Bottom Line-- Do NOT hire this man Do NOT do any work for this guy cause he'll cheat yoy out of what he agreed to pay you and i will post his current eBay name if i can figure out out.

 There should be some sort of recourse when ones exact name is shared with others. Not very fair to the one(s) not involved, not to mention embarrassing as well. Not right.. 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.

Alvin left a phone message saying he isn't paying and dared me to come down to Phoenix. What a tool he is? A thief and a tool. He also text me saying to "Write it off". What a scum bag this guy is. Blatantly rips someone off for $3177 and acts like he did no wrong. What is this country coming too?
