After two and a half years Burns writes a rebuttal in which he blames me and my skip tracer. What a nerve. Is business bad Joshua? Maybe the word's out!
Josh, you are the lowest scum I have ever met. Even now I'm getting emails from your victims, so I know you are still active. Knock it off and get an honest job.

I just lost my $50,000 Audi A6 3.0 to some guy by the name of John Adams. He totally misled me into this fraudulent scam. He promised to purchase the vehicle and have the ownership transferred out of my name. As me being so trustworthy, which is my biggest flaw, I gave him the keys as he stated the paperwork will be done the next day. I figured no scam artist would be stupid enough to invite me in his own parent's living room who intends to mislead me into some illegal autotheft ring! I gave this guy the benefit of the doubt. From there on, his whole attitude changed. He was acting as if he was doing me a favor by getting the vehicle off my hands, which I wanted, but not in this particular way. John Adams out of Los Angeles, CA blows me off each day giving me excuse after excuse on delaying the paperwork. Either his feet hurt, his kids are sick (with all due respect), he's tired, he's not feeling well, and so on and so forth. I begin getting ticked off because not only does this guy have my vehicle, he didn't even give me a dime yet! As arrogant as he is, he was BSing me with lie after lie, which I could totally see through but went along with it just so he would think I would believe him. It turns out that I get a red traffic violation from the Inglewood police department and it clearly shows an African American teenager running a red light in my Audi! I call John up, as I usually do everyday nagging about getting the paperwork done, and he tells me that he found me a buyer and that now the business agreement is between me and this ghetto kid out of Inglewood!!! He sold my $50,000 vehicle to a teenager out of Manchester Drive, Inglewood, CA (straight out of the hood) for $5,000!!!! Can you believe that? The teenager is now ghetto fabulous and hood rich as he is taunting me about "flossing in my $50,000 vehicle". I meet up with this kid from Inglewood trying to test the waters to see if my car is still okay. John introduced us over the phone, while I was still putting a mask on trying to keep my cool since I didn't want to do anything irrational at that point. So I meet up with this kid from Inglewood who brings me a half a*s contract with fill in the blank portions to sign off on. I listen to his side and he stated John sold him the car for $5,000. I saw my vehicle was in good condition. Rather then knock the kid out into a coma at the scene or be a snitch and call the cops on the spot, I sign this half a*s contract fully aware of the 3 day contract reversal rule and also in order to keep the peace, according to what the cops suggested I do since it was a "civil issue". The next day, I call this dude from Inglewood up demanding my car and stating that I am excercising the 3 day contract reversal rule and that the contract wasn't even notarized by a third person. The kid goes into hiding for a whole week, then texts me he was out "hustling" in Vegas, in other words, selling drugs, while John Adams continues to BS me that he will get the car back. I felt that the kid from Inglewood should have nothing to do with me because that transaction was between them two! Why get me involved? I just wanted John Adams to get me my car back from the Inglewood kid since that was a deal between them two and I didn't want no involvement in their illicit activities. On the contrary, I am automatically involved because I want my car back, life or death. So be it. The kid states that the car is his so I stake out in Inglewood looking for my Audi. I'm hopping fences and looking from house to house on the lookout for my car. One day, I see the kid backing out of his driveway in my Audi, which is the last time I've seen my car. I chase after him on his own street and he speeds off in a flash, not to be scene again. I see all his little friends with their pants hanging off their a*s and I guess they notified him that I was there. They all left and I called the cops right on the spot. We end up getting the vehicle in the system as stolen for John Adam's intent to fraud. Now I am stuck without a vehicle I should have and I have fantasies of doing something wicked to John Adams but luckily for him, I am still sane. I hope the insurance covers it. Don't trust anyone on swapalease.com, craigslist, or leasetrader. And if anyone knows John Adams that lives in Longwood Ave, Los Angeles, tell him to go eat a d*ck and that I'm not hard to find if he wants to box it out. I'm so furious!!!!!!!!!!!! This could lead me to bankruptcy. The law is just irrational when it comes to the vehicle section. When a civil matter becomes criminal....... Someone help or give me advice... I refuse to go out like that....

Find yourself a bigger junkyard dog to go after this scumbag and get your vehicle back. Start bending the ear of the local fbi office. I guarantee they can think up something this guy has violated in federal stats. There might be something in taking the vehicle across state lines maybe even mail or wire fraud. The local guys could care less. Too much paperwork. Had a guy come into my shop and TRY and buy $3000 worth with a counterfeit check. Called the local PD to report him. The local detective asked me if I was out any money. I told him NO, but I had the guy's real name and address. He had been hitting local merchants all over town. The detective wasn't interested cause I wasn't out any money. What a moron. Called a customer who's an fbi agent. He was down in less then 30 minutes. They busted the guy and his co-horts for over $300,000 in counterfeit check purchases. They're real hot on ID theft and counterfeiting documents. As a last note, you might want to check and see if any work has been done on the vehicle at a MB dealer based on the VIN number. Course the vehicle could be long gone or out of the country by now. Good luck.

as I continue to live well within my means. No ulcers. No pressure. I live in a very quiet country locale. on a dead-end road that ends in a large lake. so careless drive-bys can learn to swim. No hustlers, because no one pays much attention to me. Unless they cross me. No need to panic if I should have a "financial reversal". But I don't have "financial reversals". probably because it wouldn't matter anyway, or maybe I just didn't notice. I drive an invisible car, as it were. A sleeper, but it is invisible. I guess driving a super-expensive car isn't all the fun it supposedly is. I suspect the same applies to boats. Maybe the same applies even to expensive houses, but at least houses don't move. I suppose at some point your "posessions" actually own you. Thanx. I feel better already!

These people all know each other, swap cars without the owners' consent or knowledge, and sometimes even SELL your leased car!

And don't think this is unique to Southern California - the same rascal operates out of Las Vegas and who knows where else.
