Mike DePetra, former owner of MC Comics (known to charge 35 dollars for a 10 dollar figure) in Old Bridge New Jersey offered an ebay service for customers. I took him up on this some time ago. After he sold most of my things, he told me since I hadn't been by regularly to check up, he used the money on things for the store. I explained that I never agreed to invest in his shop and wanted to be paid what I was owed and he agreed to get me a large chunk of what he owed me that next month. The month came and went and no money showed up. He didn't return my phone calls or emails so I showed up in person looking for my money. He told me he would begin to pay me 100 dollars a week and until I was paid in full, I could take things from his store and that would go to what I was owed. I told him he should not be profiting on his own debt, so I'll take things from his store at cost. We agreed to terms and the checks started.
My job has be traveling a bit and glued to the computer the rest of the time, so some days i don't see the sun at all. I get a call from Mike telling me I need to cash each check, each week, otherwise he can't cover it. Obviously the 100 dollars was not actually mine until I claimed it. After a couple of weeks not being able to hit a bank, I told him he may as well stop the checks as they are worthless until I can catch up.
Some time went by and I wanted to go in and pick up some things. I called the store and they answered with a different name. I asked what happened to the previous owner and they told me he was evicted and is filing for bankruptcy. I emailed Mike and told him he had one day to reply otherwise I'd be filing fraud charges. He emails me back that he's filing for bankruptcy and if I have anything to say further, I can say it to his lawyer. Mind you, this guy took things from my ebay pile and said he would pay me personally for them, so now, not only is he not paying me the large sum of money he owes me, but he's not returning my things either.
So..Mike DePetra of Matawan, NJ, this one goes out to you. Do NOT do business with this person, as I'm sure he's going to pop up again. In fact, you should email the guy and tell him what you think of thieves. mdtm65@optonline.net Spread the word.
