Fatima Maaz Essayli Fatima Maaz I was ripped off by Fatima Maaz and Husband in a scam/hussle!!!! Be careful dealing with this shaddy middle eastern couple! Stevenson Ranch ca
I was looking to purchase a washer and dryer used. I just bought a house and had a lot of expenses moving and purchasing the property. Normally I buy new but I just bought a new Fridge. In this case my dryer gave out sooner than expected and I had to make something happen quick. My fisrt mistake.
I happened upon a few ads on facebook market place. Every ad I called or emailed on had already sold their units. These things were going fast! Like in an hour of being posted fast. I didnt realize how popular it was to get this stuff used.
I came accross Fatima's ad and the ad read "Slightly used 1 year old LG Tomm washer and dryer set for 550.00. few scratches." I emailed Fatima and recived an instant reply stating that the units were still available. I said I could unload my truck and come get them both today. It was a sunday.
I did not barter or hassle them on price at all. Her Husband contacted me via text on his cell. He gave me the address and we agreed on a time. I was told Everything worked and I could test the units when I got there. I live 25-30 minutes from them. I unloaded my truck grabed cash and started on my way.
All of the sudden Fatima or her Husband (because im not sure who was texting) started rushing the hell out of me saying they had somewhere to be. I was already on the road for 20 minutes and I didnt want to turn around. I was in stop and go traffic and I was rushed and rushed by the texts.
I should have just turned around. Now that the dust has settled I realize that it was perfectly planned and part of the scam. I showed up and the washer and dryer were unplugged and at the street. They had more than a few scratches, they were actually pretty scratched up. The photos they used to advertise did not show the extent that I saw upon arrival.
I'm not a washer and dryer expert by any means but they didn't look like they were only a year old either. Everything was telling me to run away from this deal but I let my impulsivness and the need for a working dryer asap get the best of my better judgement. For that I take blame. Her husband said there was no time to test anything.
I asked what if something doesn't work. he said " Bring it back and i'll return your money." I'm old school. I shook his hand beliving and expecting his word to be good. He told me again that they are only a year old and that everything works fine. I asked why he was selling them and he replied " My new place came with 2 new units and we dont need it."
I drove home and moved my equipment around. The following morning I finished connecting everything and got ready for a test run. With everything plugged in I fired off the dryer and the display which is digital was all pixilated and not working. At that point my heart sank.
Well not only that but the dryer also doesnt get very hot. I disconnected the vent and checked the gas. Nothing to do with my house. The dryer was clearly the reason they were selling theirs. The washer seems to work fine but it was pretty scratched. Well now my curiosity was getting the better of me. I called LG with the serial numbers because washer and dryers don't have dates on them.
Both units were manufactured 4.5 years prior. I fell for this B.S. hook line and sinker. I immediatley sent photos and got in touch with Fatima. I didn't own the units for 24 hours and I got the typical response. They said I must have damaged it moving them 25 miles to my house. They said they tested everything before I came over to make sure it all worked. Lies Lies Lies.
I offered to return them both in exhange for my money back as agreed. They told me to go F**K myself. Less than 24 hours and this man's handshake doesn't mean a d**n thing. Be very aware of this couple. Fatima aparently works for AAA and does some form of website stuff acording to her Linkedin Profile.
If you come across anything they have for sale I suggest don't buy it. Don't do business with them. They are shaddy. You can't sue or call the cops over 550.00 so I'm basically out that money, a dryer and have to resort to writing my first and probably only Rip off report.
