The Article (update on the whites and the Arizona wild) ⚠️
So back in the Spring of this year while I was still down with the growing friend on my face and balls and kidney crap show. And right after I finished with the still to be talked about NON CASE community service in Livonia? I posted an add on my years and years long Very High Rating MarketPlace Profile. Basically saying, get me off the couch. 35yrs experience of tricking out cars and etc during my trucking cart and since I was a kid with my dad. Needed something to do to keep from going crazy. Didn’t need any money ( you already know why).. now there had already been some weird folks popping up in atmosphere for very random things since I closed down the contractor gig. But I was focused on trying to save my CDL and make a decision on what to do about my body. Or even if I was going to do anything at all.
Enter Frank and Phoenix White:
Frank reaches out thru Facebook messenger to my side gig post and proceeds to tell me his GRAND PLAN for a 1986 Chevy Monte Carlo he has and wants to do some serious interior and panoramic moon roof upgrades on the car for his Wife Phoenix’s birthday in the spring. We go over everything and he tells me he has a 2010 Cadillac SRX parts car he’d like to use for the transformation on the Monte Carlo. WinWin ( Leo from earlier) I’ll get back to that. Sweet, a lot of the parts I won’t have to chase down if I can get them to work. Decent project coming my way right? Well…….
These were the clear and detailed terms folks. Not up for debate. Very clear from the day of the first contact with these fine people!
I agreed to cover some of the initial first tow costs for both vehicles to be brought to my home. 2 vehicles from their area in Detroit , to my north Warren home? Same time on a flatbed? Called in a favor….$250-300 if I remember correctly. Deal right? Yep.
Then the terms for payments From Frank White were as follows:
The following week after the cars were on site? I would receive $1000 from Frank towards the $2500-$3500 materials and parts costs. Any labor would be up to me to even charge. Didn’t need the money folks. I love working on cars. Job included a full roof resection and cut out for a panaromic moon roof, leather front and rear seats with added power, full dash replacement, door panels, headliner, touchscreen radio unit, and misc.. easy 4000-6000 job anywhere at a minimum. I was literally doing it all for half just to maybe keep a side job or two while I figured stuff out. Remember what happened 12/31…6 months prior??? Definitely didn’t need to make a profit what so ever.
So back to the agreed payment schedule.
$1000 within the first 7 days to be paid to me.
$500 every two weeks after that until our price point was met….
Now let’s get to that pesky parts car. 2010 SRX with timing issues (needed a motor and was not fully functional) and get this folks “ not a license plate on either vehicle” weird but ok? The parts car???? When delivered?? Literally filled with MOLD….and I mean the worst I’d ever seen or smelled. “ great to be in my driveway “ I tried for days to clean it, my wife tried as well. No luck, car was shot. And that moonroof we were going to use for the Monte from the Cadillac? Was the reason for the mold. Faulty seals. So now?? I have no parts car. I call Frank? He agrees that his SRX idea was a wash, and now I’m onto a parts hunt (more labor and time of mine to chase down and pick up whatever would now be needed) moonroof was always going to be outsourced pretty much do to the size needed. ( go price out on marketplace what a panoramic used roof goes for $500-$900) still I mustered on.
Here’s where the red flags and sob stories start!!!!!!
That first $1000 payment from Frank White??? “ would I take $500 this time and he will make it up on the next one” I said sure(things happen) received it and started my plans and parts orders and searches.
Meanwhile I told them to take the SRX back or I could post it on Marketplace for them to a scrapper or rebuilder to help offset the now growing price( remember , no parts car on site?) means more money and time for me. They bring me the title a week later, I initial the title that I received it, then post the car with detailed info on its condition. After a few days of marketplace bulls**tters? I end up getting $800 for it. Barely enough to cover the new moonroof needed and definitely not enough to cover a new whole interior, but it was something I guess.
Enter 2nd payment deadline???
I reach out to Frank and ask for the money???????? Wouldn’t you know? Another sob story. Job, death in the family, he was suspended from work ( hell I don’t know which one it was at this point) he literally used all three of these stories during this fiasco. But guess what? What should have been $1000 minimum from the earlier shorted payment???? $250 came my way. $250 measly ass dollars. Meanwhile I made clear that I’m already going into my pocket for this job to get parts and or materials and tooling to keep this thing going. I told him I would keep going, but please make the money right. I’m not going to fund your wife’s birthday present.
Enter payment 3:
Now here is where the scam or con was fully on from the whites and I seen everything I needed to see.
I explained that having unlicensed vehicles on my property and problems with my landlord were starting to show ( a neighbor actually slipped in some words of their own as to the non plated vehicles on my garage and driveway) and that I would be paying out of my pocket for a tow and new storage and work space at the local Public Storage!!! $600 bam…right there I paid. And as I’m telling the Great and Wonderful Mr Frank White about this new plan and my costs??? And ask for his now 3rd payment deadline??? You’re not going to believe this s**t (can’t make it up folks) Frank actually starts screaming at me on the phone. Full blown adult temper tantrum about how he is broke and getting stressed out about me asking him for money. Literally!!!
I try and calm him down, couldn’t believe I was hearing what I was hearing from a grown 50yr old man, tell him to at least cover my new tow bill ? He sends money …guess how much folks??? Not even $200 frickin dollars. So now we are at 3 badly missed payment arrangements…..now here at this moment , even after I started to feel like the line was getting set for an automotive dine and dash? Was where after recent events and losses of money by others besides the whites? That the play along starts. I told you? I only lied to LIARS. AND I WAS CLEARLY GETTING PLAYED AND LIED TOo!
Meanwhile the car sits untouched in a storage unit in my name with a bill that just seems to keep growing. ( to be honest? I almost let the damn thing get auctioned) but that’s just not me. Even after I get yelled at like a little bitch for asking for his project money!
Next month or two I get little to no communication from the Whites…besides when I needed to ask a favor??? Now hear is where my play along comes into the picture that I needed for my confirmation of what was really going on. I called Frank and asked for a $200 favor of the money owed to me for getting my pregnant daughter’s vehicle home from Ft Campbell where her and her husband are stationed. ( actually was over limit for other things that Friday and needed it for a day or two) but really didn’t. So I tell Frank if he can send the $200?? I will pay it right back!!!!!!!!! You see what I’m doing here? Guess what? He sends it (holy s**t he actually does have a few dollars) then here is where things get great! I mean scammy if you know what I mean? Sorry for the length on this one but since his is one of the first to get prosecuted and sued for? A copy of this is already sent to authorities as I’m posting it to you.
Frank calls and messages for two days about HIS MONEY that I now clearly owe him. This is to great to make up !! I swear it is. I blow him off. And rightfully so. These folks have been playing me and my money and time for months now at this point. But the funny thing is? Frank is still trying to ask for progress on the car!!!!! He thinks I’m just plugging along on my dime! I lied thru my teeth, played along all the way up until????? THIS HAPPENED!!!!
I get a text and phone call from Frank asking for updates to the job and asking if I can speed things up (he says over and over again he has the money) he literally asks for me to speed things up!! Can’t make this stuff up folks. I just can’t. Says he is worried about the job all of a sudden. Then during this Saturday morning and afternoon while I’m with family and sicker then s**t with pneumonia, doing baby plan stuff for Leslie. His screaming phone calls. (Over 15 in a row I believe) then the 50 harassing texts I believe!!!!! I finally lose my cool even though I literally can’t talk because of 7 weeks of damn near dying from pneumonia! And during my final I’ve had enough of your lies and bulls**t moment? Here comes the death nil? In his own words ladies and gentlemen!!!
“ I’m going to kill your ass homeboy, it’s a small world and your family will be stalked, your fu**in me and you will pay PL***OY, good luck ! “ and a few more threats to my life and my families “
All this from a man that owes me? Yep. But he said something in his threats also that stood out “ people like you taking peoples deposits and then scamming them” wow Frank? What did you mean there? You never payed. NO TICKY NO WASHY! But here is where the Arizona stuff starts to fit in. His wife has a 402 area code phone, Frank himself had just recently moved from Arizona to Detroit. So the next day I start my research ( I was doing The Article anyways) and the Arizona stuff starts to paint a picture that will be told here in a few more days.
Back to the next day after the threats. I called Frank and asked if he wanted the police at the storage unit for him to get his vehicle ( I was prepared to pay the full back balance and just get these folks the hell away from my family) I play nice, he sounds calmer, then he asks to just have me complete the car!!!!!!!!!! Are you hearing what I’m writing? Do you believe this guy! I’m sick as a dog still so I play along once again. (This time though) I would be wrapping this all up shortly and preparing for just how to do it. Remember I had a bunch of shady ass folks coming in and out of my world and I was taking notes and have had counsel on play since my windfall a few months earlier.
During that calmer next day phone call???? Frank sends me a picture of? You’re not going to believe this? A very large wad of cash he is supposedly holding. Over a few grand it looks like ( I’ll post it here)
He says it was never about the money dog….he can cash me out now all of a sudden!!! No words people, I flipped a lid. So this man had my money all along and was watching me spend mine? Was the photo fake or old? This man had just told me to pay him back the $200 measly bucks so he could afford school clothes for his kids. Where is this supposed new found wealth? And how dare you send me a picture of it after you seeing me spending my time and money and taking huge losses on his fu**in car! Either way? It was on!
A week after the calmer next day call and I’m really starting to feel better and back in my semi? I get a random text from Frank White? Dude I need to see progress or else I’m sucking my wife on you! Holy s**t this guy didn’t just say that? Did he? Yep he did.
I start making all my preparations to have this story concluded and spend the money and take the losses to return their vehicle and refund their pitiful payments, to then start my legal proceedings.
His wife reached out to me like Frank said he would….and at first I genuinely believed her mouth that she had no idea that her husband hadn’t paid me or kept his word. I believed Frank was lying to his wife and getting pressure from her and that’s why he was misbehaving with me. ( that will soon change) I lied to her to cover for her husband until the truth would literally be showing back up at their doorstep with a tow truck !
Next morning I felt like s**t for possibly lying to this man’s wife to cover for him. I text them both of my plans for the vehicles return, money I would be sending back, losses I was going to take, and to tell her that her husband ( in detail ) had either been lying to both of us , or just her!
I make all the arrangements, pay the huge storage bill, pay for the $200 tow, etc. then start paying the cash app amounts I received from them in the order they were received by me! Ironic isn’t it. That I have to pay back these Lame’s. But I’m such a crook. Truth be told? I’m paying and doing all this methodically and building my cases against them.
While the vehicle has now been returned, two payments of $500 returned, receipts sent to them for my huge storage bill , and tow bill?
Remember I’m only paying for the storage unit in hopes that originally Frank was keeping his word. So the bill being so high? Is only by his doing. (And I swear, it took all I had to not let that car get auctioned) these people were bad news.
Then after I’ve proven that I’m not the scamming bastard and worthy of all the threats? Comes Mrs Phoenix whites texts asking for refund updates!!! Can you believe this s**t? I explained how I was clearing and closing the job and how any refunds coming would be paid..and also the sale of the parts car and moneys they thought would be owed to me for my losses and storage. “ Crickets”
But then over the next week? She texts asking for money again! And this time with some sarcasm, yep? Mrs white was clearly in on the screwing as well. ( I’ll tell you later about my research and her Arizona ties with her husband) and why I now know that this whole this was a scam and or worse.
So finally just the other day? I refund the full balances of money received on cash app by Frank. ( the pitiful moneys) and send an extra $200 toward the parts car sale, and then I ask what they believe is fair my losses. I mean they were sent all of the receipts. I’m clearly out real money now. Still nothing from the supposed wife who was calmly asking me for my money!
I’ll update as this story goes.
But something everyone needs to know?
If you threaten physical harm in the furtherance of a crime you’re committing for financial unowned gain? There is a felony word for that. If you cause financial losses due to con play and then after still try and extort thru threats and or shady tactics? There is a felony word for that. If you cause financial losses to someone and then continue to harass in effort to still enrich yourself based on a crime you’ve committed? Yep, you know what this is also.
I have the receipts ladies and gentlemen. I have the texts, the proof of losses, the threats were witnessed on speaker, the game they played were tracked and noted in detail. And they are not the only ones in recent months.
Ball will be in Macomb county’s hands and my civil case has already begun.
Be very careful people on who you let into your atmosphere. This is just part of their story. I don’t know how these people find me, but gosh damned if they didn’t pick the wrong suburban “ lol on that part “ white boy for their automotive dine and dash with alterior motives scam !
I sent their last financial squeeze payments the other day and now we just get to sit back and watch. I told Frank the day of his threats. He picked the wrong one, that ghetto tactics don’t work on me, and I don’t take threats ( especially if you’ve been reading so far) all that kindly. Especially while your fu**in me on my money too boot. It’s on Gods hands now. And the system. Let’s see if that pendulum really does work the way they say it does.
$1000 in a cold hard cash reward folks. Prove or find a lie in anything said above or anywhere in the article. Can’t make this s**t up.
Stay tuned, more criminals exposed.
And please don’t think I forced anyone’s hand for a writing piece! These types of people came into my world and always have for some reason. And they s**t their own beds, I’m just helping to clean the sheets. And please know their are serious ramifications for ever threatening my women and or myself after what I’ve been through in the last 25yr gap of Shamoun induced Hell.
