Summit Mowers review: Stay away 5

My dad sent John 6500 for a mower and the same thing got nothing but excuses and then John quit communicating with him altogether. So my dad sued John for his money back and apparently John didn’t care enough to show up for the court case so the court ruled in favor of my dad. The next step was my dad went to see an attorney about putting a lien on his business to try and get the money back but the attorney advised him maybe talking to our sheriffs dept. would be a better option. So he did and they ended up charging John and issuing a warrant for his arrest. A few months later John was in Florida ran a stop sign and when the authorities checked his license the warrant showed up and he was arrested. Well after a month of being in custody in Florida they brought him here. The commonwealths attorney agreed to drop the charges against John if he returned my dads money. He ended up trying to blame the whole thing on his mother saying she did his book keeping but my dad did get all his money back. And even at that time which has been 10 or 11 years ago we had googled and found people posting and complaints of him scamming people. It really makes me wonder how many he has and they have just let it go figuring it wasn’t worth trying to get the money back. If I couldn’t buy a mower off him and have it in my possession at the time i paid i probably wouldn’t trust him to build me one and ship it. And my dad had even had 2 or 3 phone conversations with him prior to sending him money I mean he seems totally legit. But beware.
