Got seriously ripped off by non skydiver in Tacoma, WA

Recommended Posts

Anyone here from Tacoma WA? Or even better, anyone a lawyer in Tacoma or WA?
My case is being investigated by the Attorney General, maybe a lawyer wants to get involved. I have an interview for a investigator on King5.

The conmans name is Phil Warnock. He is notorious in the Washington state marine business.


Anyone in that area who wants a cut of what I am owed by this man and thinks they can help, please send me an email [email protected]

This man was in the news for a death in one of his boats he made in Lake Stphens last month, he also has been convicted of 200+ fraud charges.

If you are a lawyer over there, I would love to hear from you. Not sure if a case like this would interest you but this man has always had alot of media attention and it is going to get more. The Attorney General got this guy sentenced for 20 years and he is still at it.

here is a google search on the man to give you an idea of what I am dealing with.

Dear Mr Lucus :

Your invoice appears below. Please wire transfer the $2,000 USD to

Capital Control Corporation per the instructions previously sent. Please disregard

the bottom of this invoice directing payment to Global Marine Speicalties, Inc., as Capital

Control Corporation will be paying for the construction of this boat, and therefore,

recieves your payment. I am the CEO of Capital Control Corporation, as well.

Thank you for your business - we appreciate it very much.

Sincerely,
Phil
CEO

Global Marine Specialties, Inc.


Dear Gary;

Allright $17,000.

I still do not have the Austrailian pricing for Mercury Outboards.

We have built many sterndrives, including in this hull, earlier, many times. We have installed many 320's, but this will be the first one in this boat, but we have put more HP in this hull earlier, and they all perform extremely well. Yes, we will test it, rigorously.

We do not have the upholstery completed, as of yet. We expect to have the upholstery for both the 1400 and 1600 done this week, so that we can ship.

Phil

Dear Gary;

Because we have had so many delays and hassles, we will not be shipping until sometime in March. We finally took the upholstery back in-house, and will have three 1400's and two 1600's done Tuesday or Wednesday. We intend on shipping them Friday.

Beginning Monday, we will begin building two boats a day, a 1400 and a 1600, obviously they take two to three days, each, in total, but for each mold we use, and we can use two, now, so we can laminate and pull one boat per day, per mold.

I will send you pictures when we are done.

Phil

Dear Gary;

As a promo boat, we can list it at whatever we want to list it.
We will supply an explanation with the bill of lading

The sterndrive will be warranted in Austrailia, as we purchase the warranties with the engine from Mercury Marine. Yours will be three years. As an inboard, it becomes a component part of the boat, and therefore, the warranty is good.

Phil

Dear Gary;

What makes you think that we got them shipped? Close, but not yet. We are still finishing the molds for the 1600SS front seats. We ran out of tooling resin in the middle of it (tooling resin is what you make molds with). We have several drims of it, now, and the molds will be done tomorrow. We will have the four parts we need by Monday, and the boats will be shipped Tuesday afternoon late.

I am attaching some upholstery pictures from the 1400SS, that will be attached, tomorrow.

We will be putting the ski locker in the floor in the 1800. There is not enough room, in length, in the 1600's.

I am glad you like the 6.2L. It will be really responsive.

Interior colors are no problem.

Phil

Dear Gary;

The logo will be the same. Attached is a picture of the 1600 front seat bases, not yet upholstered. Attached also is a picture of a 1400 with the seats in it, but the buckets not sitting on their pedistalls.

We own the logo. We have recently just re-trademarked it. It will be the same.

Phil

Dear Gary;

We have been running with a small crew through this, as we are not manufacturing the other Brands. These guys have from 10 to 30 plus years experience, every one of them. They are very good.

If you check in the NADA Boat Appraisal Guide, you find that GMS has been in there with Sidewinder since 1984, actually when the guide comes up, it shows that it has been in there since 1999, and that we did not produce them in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. They have the 2009 information, which is not in there, yet, but will be with next month, and show that we are back in production, GMS is a dba of Global Marine Specialties, Inc. The USCG has had Sidewinder for GMS since 1984. There is no question about Sidewinder. Those who would make other remarks, don't know where to look. Just like the windshield patent. The one shown is for another model sidewinder than the ones we are currently building, but do we intend to build the other one, also, and the windshield is considerably different, but there is no reason to argue, it is what it is, and the fact is, we build sidewinder, and better, than anyone else, ever did.

Phil

Dear Gary;

We will ship tomorrow. Attached is a 1600 seat nearly trimmed. The bottoms are finnished. Also a finnished 1400, ready to vacumn and shrink wrap.

Phil

Dear Gary;

We will get back on the 1800's next week.

Phil

Here is when I started thinkin 'what is going on', so i asked about the finance agreement to get it in writing.....


Dear Gary;

We will put together the financing agreement sometime later this week. It is pretty simple. We are not charging you any interest, except $1.00 per year, to make it legal.

Try to find out what the bottom line on a lease, lease/purchase, or purchase might be. I will talk to our CFO about getting the financing for it.

We always take pictures of the boats in progress by Hull ID numbers. We are required by USCG rules to keep a hard copy on each boat, noting any irregularities, plus each installed item and its origin of manufacture. We would be glad to share them with you.

Monday we will be hard at it, but today, and tomorrow, we are taking it easy.

Monday we begin moving the main assembly plant to a brand new building, which I am certain will not be fun, but we are staged, already, to do it, without much muss.

Phil

Dear Gary;

Send anything to 12932 SE Kent-Kangley Rd # 9, Kent, WA 98030 USA

We have still just been staging. We will move begining Wednesday.

Phil

Dear Gary;

We work as a team, on the boats. I am very good with hull and angle attack, R & D, etc., and don't care as much about esthetics. I would get in a boat with an apple box for a seat, just to test something new. I am into performance and like speed on the water. Others here, are into cosmetics etc. It takes both. Remember, that everything above the riding surface is just a passenger - it just goes along for the ride. I have a real feel when I am in a boat. I have a knack for knowing when things are right. I have the right instincts. We are all boat builders, here. Our skills differ, but we are all boat builders. (Most companies, off the record, are glass jockies.)

We won't have the 1800 for a month or so, at the earliest. We got behind, and it will take us a while to catch up. We have to finish the inner-linners for the 1400 and 1600, and the 1600 inboard deck before we get back on it.


Phil

When is the boat show? Maybe we can send a 1600 and a 1400, instead.

Phil

Dear Gary;

June is fine.

Phil

Dear Gary;

The Boats headed to Canada are to arrive tomorrow afternoon. They were in Winepeg Wednesday morning, which was 1500 miles from their destination.

The Trucking company is to call us tomorrow morning and let us know what time they will arrive at the Dealer in Carlton Place, Ontario, CA

That is a dealership owned by Mike. Several of the boats are going on to another dealer, I think, in Toronto, that is Mike's deal.

The boats, I believe, already have been sold to retail customers; so I was told.


Phil

Dear Gary;

Our deal with Mike is to make them exactly, or nearly exactly, as makes sense in their manufacture.

Later on, maybe we will alter that some.

We make our own towers, not like the tower in the picture, but much nicer, and they will be available for Sidewinders also, and we also make swim platforms, that fold down or up, as well, for all the boats, whick will include Sidewinder, but we haven't started the tooling for those for the Sidewinder models, yet.

It is snowing here, now, and we had put the move off until this week, so I guess that we will move in the Snow, or at least, nasty weather.

I attached a tower picture of ours from a hybrid wakeboard test boat that has a 380 hp Mercury big block v-drive in it. As you can see from the picture none of the interior was done, just something to sit on and cover the motor, allowing us to get at everything easily. There are two pictures of the tower, that also folds, and then one of the boat going about 72 mph. We had a lot of fun with that project, which was the forerunner of the white and yellow boat you saw in the trailer pictures.

Phil

Dear Gary;

The boat will be there by June.

Phil

Dear Gary;

The boats were damaged in transit, but here are two, in Canada. The damges were cosmetic, so they will all be in good shape in a few days.


Phil

Dear Gary;

We are far enough on the 1800 to get your boat there by June. Having said that, we will not be back on the project until later this week.

Phil

Dear Gary;

Yes, we can do the trailer.

Phil

Dear Gary;

Do these guys want classic Sidewinders, or do they want regular V-drives or Inboards, pictures attached, that are 20'6" long, with 340 HP 6.2L engines.

If they want the regular stuff, it can be built now. If they want Sidewinders, it would take several months from the order because we would have to spend extra time, doing it.

The boats in the pictures can come as Sidewinders. I have 8 Blanks now, which I would price better, if we could put an immediate deal together. I could send them with tandem trailers, a cover, and a tower. The Blanks are White with Black Trim (dash too), white with Blue Trim (Dash too), White with Tan Trim (dash too), whtite with Black Dash and Black bottom from the chine down. (I can send pictures of them individually - they can be completed within three weeks)

Your cost on them, without Freight would be $29,000.00 USD complete with trailer and tower. MSRP USD is $53,000.00 USD without trailer and tower.

Phil

OKAY- STILL MARCH. MARCH 23RD NOW.


Dear Gary;

We are not building it from Scratch. The hull is the same exact hull as the Jolly Roger 1800 except that in 1973 we took the angles out of the transom, made it straight accross, arced the hull and deck seam so that you do not have to have that angled flat spot in the back of the deck for the sterndrive gimble housing, and changed the inside running strakes, which made the hull about 5 miles per hour faster. We are using one of our old Jolly Roger Hulls. We will put the angles back in the transom, but might leave the arc, so as to make the back deck better. We also have an 1800 Sidewinder hull and deck, we are using.

The plug in the picture is only a week or so out, if we work on it daily, until we could make a mold. It is very straight, nearly perfect. It needs now to be finnished out, only, and waxed. To a regular person, that may seem like a monumental task, but to us, it is fairly easy. Our guys lay the gelcote down pretty smooth, and the orange peel is not so bad, so the finish sanding and buffing goes pretty fast.

The Sidewinder project is a long term project and will move forward as the economy moves. The more the market grows, the more we will build.


Phil

Phil, I just noticed on the sidewinder forums you have mentioned it will now be 2-3 months before there will be any completed 18's. A few emails ago you had said that one would be here in Australia by June. If this has changed, please let me know as soon as you can so that I can do everything in my power to sell this exhibitors ticket i purchased for the show. Please bear in mind that to ship a boat from the USA will take at least 4 weeks from what I have looked up.

I know you guys have alot on your plate and I dont want you to think i am hassling you, I just need a heads up if there is another delay in the production schedule if possible. please keep me in the loop as I have taken alot of iniative and done everything i can to get more and more people that matter over here to look forward to viewing the new Sidewinder.


Thanks Phil.

Dear Gary;

That was a public response, not a private one. We don't intend to take that long. We keep getting asked that question. Are official response comes from "under promise, and over deliver", so that we get things done on time.

Phil


Dear Gary;

I think that three are rigged, and two are still being repaired, but I am not absolutely certain of that.

It is wiser to utilize a single axle trailer with an 18' boat. The trailers are really nice, and accomodate the boats really well.

Two and one-half years is fine. The idea is to get a boat there for a demo, the financial stuff is not so important on this particular boat. I just haven't gotten it done. I have had way too many other things to do.

I am sorry that boat is not done, but due to complications, we do not have the tooling done. It takes time. More than we expected because of all of the unexpected upholstey tooling.

We can build up to 10 boats per week, currently, which we are not doing, as we don't want "spec boats" (those which do not have homes), and in our agreement with the Canadians, they pay with their purchase orders, we build, and deliver.

The weather both in Canada, and the US has been horiffic, but now is getting better. We are also all afraid of the US admininstration and the turmoil they have created.

Having said that, any boat you order will get built, and any boat the Canadians order will get built. We have several US dealers, who are not in financial trouble, who will get boats also, but we do not want to get stuck with any unsold boats.


Phil

Dear Gary;

I can send a windshield. Where does it go? I will have to figure out how to ship it.

Phil

Dear Gary;

Don't worry about what I send to the thread. We just don't want to screw up the 1600 market by those who might rather have 1800's. Your boat will be the first one out. The windshields are already made. I just have to go pick them up.

Phil



Dear Gary;

We have been struggling with the 18, as we have been stuck doing other things. However, it looks like the hull will be ready by the end of next week to make the hull mold.


Phil

Dear Gary;

If want a 1600 over there to use until the other one arrives, yes, if you want the 1800 now, no.

We are behind still and can't get caught up, in time.

We will have 1800's in June, sometime, but not now. If you want a refund, OK, or we will get it done.

I think that the 1600 would be good for getting started, but if you don't, OK.

Phil


Dear Gary;

We have not progressed as we should have progressed. Since we have had a continuing hang up on the Canadian Certification, because of paper work mistakes, our regular funding has, and is, unavailable until we receive the certification.

We just received an e-mail form Boating Standards - Transport Canada, yesterday that it might be 30 days from June 12, which was the day that they finally said the paper work was right. This has been going on for 16 or 17 weeks. We have lost maybe as much as $1,000,000. USD in production revenue during that period, and another 30 days would damage us severely.

The paper work mistakes were out of our hands, as our Canadian distributor needed to complete it, as you have to be a Canadian Citizen to apply for the certifications, so we had trouble trying to help them with it, and the head of boating standards was new to her job, and confused the issue.

We are expecting better service than thirty days, but we do not know when.

We are pretty much stymied until our funding becomes available, again. Since it is our own private funding, we didn't loose it, we just can't use it until they complete the certification. If you want to stay in, great, if you don't, we can refund your deposit.

How did the poker go?

Thank You,
Phil

Dear Gary;

We will get the 1800's out.

I am sorry that I have not been to quick on the e-mails, but I have been very ill for over a week. I am somewhat better, today, but not well yet.

We expect that within 30 days, life will be considerably better.

We just had to stop production until this Canadian Certification was completed. We expect that will be quite soon, even though, because of the mistakes they were predicting longer. Ottawa is pushing it, now.


Phil


sO IT IS NOW jUNE, WHERE IS MY BOAT? wHY IS THIS GUY GOING ON ABOUT WINDSCREEN IN THE FORUMS???



Dear Gary;

Be careful what you believe. The guy bought a damaged windshield. He knew it, and he knew that the extrusions needed to be straightened. We needed to get it straightened without destroying it. He could have purchased a new one. He chose not to do so.

To my knowledge, the windshield has finally been straightened, and is either on its way or will be shortly.

Phil



Dear Gary;

We told you about the Certification problem in Canada. At the end of last week, we received the certification, but because we had made many mistakes in transferring measurements to metrics from inches, and not following the Canadian formulas properly, they were entirely wrong. I have spent much time since then on this matter. Just now, I returned with the correct inch figures, and will be sending them out short for conversion.

I offered you a refund, earlier. If you don't want to be a rep you do not have to be. However, if your basing it on one incident involving someone who got a good deal, that would take a little time to do, that is a poor measure.

You decide.

Phil


Thank you. This certification deal is really irritating, and has left me in poor humor.

Phil

okay, so the certification thing is being mentioned now as you can see because it is finally june and my boat has not arrived after being promised every two to four weeks for months.

Now here we go........


His personal phone numbers....


Dear Gary;

We just copied you as to our reply on another e-mail we received from that Andrew fellow.

I am not happy that you would disclose anything between us. In reply, to his remarks, I disclosed some additional, and sent a copy to our attorneys.

We have been fair an honest with you.
I was at the tooling plant yesterday, as we had to re-do all of the Canadian certification figures. Since we did them in inches, our CFO is busy converting them to mm, this am.

The 1800 hull is pretty close to finishing out. It looks good. However, we will not be able to go back on it until the Canadian Certification is corrected, which I am told will only take a few days, once they have the corrected numbers. Unfortunately we made the mistakes originally.

I tried to call you on the telephone, but there was no answer. I just realized that the time there is 4 am. The number I attempted to call was: +61 4 #######. It just rang and rang, and did not go to voice mail.

You can call me on 206-940-0976 if you like, or at 253-639-3904.

Thanks,
Phil


Dear Gary;

The two telephone numbers that you can call me directly are: 206-940-0976 or 253-639-2904. Sorry, I just do not type well.

Phil






NOW, THIS IS WHERE THE PROMISES OF THE $8000 BACKING BEGIN,

Dear Gary;

We will be getting the funds tomorrow, and they will not be available for use, until Thursday or Friday.

Here are some hydro pictures from Seafair. I hope that you enjoy them.

Phil

Dear Gary;

I meant that it was being processed to us. I expect it will be available, in our account tomorrow or Monday.

Phil

We are in that process as well.

It looks like that will happen this month.

Phil


Dear Gary;

It is a 100% deal. The exact timing has been a little tough, but in days, not weeks.

Phil

Dear Gary;

It will be tomorrow or Wednesday before we have the funds in place and available for transfer. I will know, later today.


Dear Gary;

We expected funds today, but have not yet received them. I have a telephone call in now for tracking information.

I am still going to do this.

Dear Gary;

I will have more answers, tomorrow, but all will be alright pretty quickly.

Phil
Dear Gary;

What I said was that it would be mature on the 15th of August (a Saturday), and that upon its payout, which would be Monday, it would be forwarded to us overnight, which means that we would receive it on Tuesday or Wednesday, for distribution.


I expect that the first part will start today, which means that it will be available to us Thursday or Friday.

Phil.


We expect to receive the funds on Thursday, which will mean that they should be available Friday for us to utilize. This particular loan is not coming by wire transfer. It is a negotiable check, which we not be delayed for use, by the bank.

Phil


We have received funds, later yesterday than we would have preferred. The funds will have been dispersed into the right accounts by 1:00 pm Tuesday, for our use.

Phil



Dear Gary;

Nothing has changed, except the funding will be tomorrow, as it will take one more day to complete the transactions.

Phil
Dear Gary;

I will be unable to complete the transactions before tomorrow, afternoon.

I apologize, and I know that an apology helps no one.

Phil


Just got an email from Phil. Listen to this guy. FYI- I never said I wanted a refund cause I had put many months of my time into this. Also I asked him for a loan for my business so we could import his boats. You all have read the whole 'just one more day' chain of emails for two months. Anyway, this guy is unbelivable.

Any of you guys debt collectors in the area? Or lawyers?



I did not read all the emails, but the jist of the issue is that you are out $2000, right?

That is pretty much small claims court, not really worth it to hire an attorney.
Google paralegals in the area and you can get them to file the paperwork.
I don't know what the court appearance requirements are, but you should be able to appear via phone (or skype).
If you use skype, your local representative would have to provide the computer equipment and connection.

NOLO Press has several books that can help you in this area. Most (US) libraries have them on reference shelves.

I was guessing maybe $8k was involved.

I'm not a lawyer but there probably isn't enough $$ involved to make it worth their time.

Small claims is a option but even if someone can get a judgement against the guy, they will have to collect the judgement themselves.

From reading the google profile of phil he's been doing shady stuff for a very long time. I'b be surprised if he has a penny in his own name.

Reading the correspondence is like reading a Nigerian scam except it doesn't involve $millions.

IMO let it go[:/]

First of all, you need a lawyer, and only a lawyer. I don't practice in Washington State, or know its specific court rules and statutes, but in most states, if you get a paralegal to prepare and file a lawsuit in court for you, and he does it without direct, in-person supervision of an attorney, he would usually be deemed to be unlawfully practicing law without a license. So don't do that.

Second - do not take legal advice about this from anybody but a lawyer. That includes, for example, advice on (a) what kind of evidence may or may not be required, (b) whether you will or will not necessarily have to appear in court in person, or (c) whether the case is or is not worth pursuing. In this case, yes, an American lawyer is preferable, but even a quick consult with a N.Z. lawyer is better than taking advice from ANY non-lawyer. No exceptions. I cannot stress this enough.

Tacoma, Washington is the county seat of Pierce County, Washington. Most counties in the US have bar associations, and most county bar associations have lawyer referral services. Here's the link to the Pierce County, Washington Bar Association's lawyer referral service.

http://www.tpcba.com/page.php?id=7

If you click on Home on the menu bar at the left margin, it gives you the bar association's address and telephone number. Call them directly by telephone, succinctly explain your situation to them, and have them walk you through the process of getting referred to one or more attorneys who might be able to help you, and give you an initial telephone consultation.

Good luck!

It is pretty simple really.

I have lost alot more but at least i get something back.

I do hear you but once you see it you might think otherwise.

BEAR in mind i was the one who never heard from hsi attorney and i phoned every attorney with the same name up in WA before i found the right guy. he made it happen

if you are out $11.5K and you are settling for $2K then his attorney is doing a damn fine job of zealously representing his client. a very nice out of court settlement.

I would contact a contracts attorney and investigate how (and how much) you are getting fucked. If his counsel is in a rush to get you to sign something, there's a good reason for that.

$2000 is all i can prove to be direct.

Anyway, the Attorney General is involved in it. He owes most people $20,000 + so $2000 is better than nothing, at least I am getting something back. Does not mean I need to respect his state of Washington agreement.

Sorry to hear you're getting ripped off. When I dealt with you and your campany early this year I thought you were a very stand-up guy. That said, if you can't help Gary out with this asshole from Washington, help him out by shooting him business.

****This was not a paid advertisement****;)

It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.

Thanks for that. However I have already received $2000 in my account today. NOw I can continue my vendetta against him without worrying about not getting any money back. The document i signed says that if the agreement is broken the agreement can not be used in court ???? Go figure.
