Maybe those folks were not aware of the scam
George pulled maybe 3 to 4 years ago involving
GPS units I think it was. . .

Guess he got a "visit" from a fellow named Curtis who
roughed ol' George up a bit. George tried to blame all
the shipping 'confusion' on his 'wife' whom
Curtis got George to admit didn't exist.

Sure wish I had all those emails today!
Curtis described George as a 'runt', as I recall.

Oh I remember the discussion threads we had; and I saved all the
messages. Curtis was a big ol boy, and he said George is a tiny guy.
According to Curtis, when George opened the door and saw Curtis
standing there demanding his money back, George started shaking
uncontrollably. I think he cried.

Then there was the time Fetter advertized the non-existent BC-780s or
785s when they first came out and you couldn't get a hold of one.
Fetter claimed he had bought out a radio store that was going out of
business, and had acquired dozens of them. He offered them for sale
under the name George Williams (William is his middle name). Of
course he never delivered. I thought Curtis actually had sent the
money for one of the scanners.

I got the emails from a fellow whom I believe sent some money for a GPS unit (I
think this particular scam originated in some airplane pilot group, I'd have to
look) and 'Curtis' was a friend of his or the friend of another fellow. But
anyway, as I recall, 'Curtis' drove 750 miles or so and got ol' George to write
a check (which I think was around $700 or so), and was told that if it didn't
cash, he, 'Curtis', would be back. I do remember the guy telling me that
'Curtis' roughed George up a bit.

George doesn't want a return visit from 'Curtis'.



If only I had gotten to talk to Judge William A Parsons at the Volusia
County Circuit Court before he accepted Fetter's plea bargain. Oh
well, there is always next time.
