Beware of Joe Capraro!
 

Hi Jeepers,
I responded to a for sale posting on this newsgroup last December.
Sent Joe Capraro $175 for his old Borla header. He cashed the check
and promised to send it immediately.
To make a very long story short - he apparently has no intention of
sending the header or returning my money. This is in spite of several
promises. He claimed illness and bad luck and I have given him more
than enough time.

He is now one of the owners of a business called:
Mom's Apple Pie
281 Main
Falmouth, MA 02540

While he is there, he will not even talk to me on the phone. The
people who answer the phone: (508-540-8572) ask who is calling and
when I tell them my name, he is always busy. This has happened at
least 15 times in the last 3 months and again today.

If anyone lives near Falmouth and could just ask him why he ripped off
a fellow jeeper, I would appreciate it.
Thanks, Al Green

Probably turn it over to a collections agency in the thiefs home town and
let them deal with it.

Re: Beware of Joe Capraro!
 

I've paid collection agencies to collect bad checks they're better
rip off artist than the dead beats.

Bill, that's mail fraud. It's a felony, I do believe. The fact that he
offered something for sale and took payment through the US mail and
returned nothing for the money, he has committed mail fraud.

How did Joe get the money? Granted maybe Arold sent it overnight via
UPS or FedEx but if he didn't then he was defrauded by mail. Just
because Joe said his headers were for sale here doesn't exclude the fact
that the USPS was used for fraudulent reasons. I doubt you or I could
say if Joe had intended to rip people off here or not.

Now I know in your case you think you should just let the thief get away
with ripping someone off and I don't agree with that. To me a deal is a
deal and if one person rips off another there should be consequences for
their actions.... Its not the money, its the principle and you let
people get away with fraud by only taking the amount of money lost is
not good business in my book.

Exactly. We don't know the full story, maybe Joe will stop by and tell
his side....

Either way true or not, for me once again its the principle and if Arold
is tell the truth then he should take action and not allow somebody to
rip him off. Or maybe he file a claim with B.------ Insurance since
their easy going "life is good" ease the pain of humanity clause? :)
