Equipment Resale, Fort Erie

Here's another odd but interesting tidbit on this mystery...

I have questioned the KMC Holdings book keeper on several occasions about her boss, the person she calls the owner of the company. This is the guy that she says stays in Florida for the winter but hasn't made it back to Canada yet this year. She gave me the name Dale Armstrong as the owner of KMC Holdings...

Of course, as you may recall, I ran a corporate profile report on KMC Holdings and the government lists the owner as one Glen Dickson...

I have asked the KMC Holdings book keeper several times if she has heard of this Glen Dickson, she said she has never heard that name and has only dealt with the owner Dale Armstrong and his wife.

However... I do have Glen Dickson's cell phone number... The number that was listed by someone else on this thread and also provided to me by a third party who's address was listed on my paperwork but who has nothing to do with this transaction. I have left many voicemail messages on this phone number and never had a reply. But last week I sent a text message to Glen on this number and heard back from him. He apologized and said that their book keeper (and he gave me the name of the little old lady book keeper) was going to get a new cheque produced for me.

So... The book keeper claims to have never heard of Glen Dickson and only deals with her boss named Dale Armstrong... But, I hear from Glen Dickson that he has communicated with the book keeper about a replacement cheque.

There are several possibilities here...

- Glen Dickson also goes by the name Dale Armstrong, but only when talking to his book keeper...
- The book keeper is lying to me and trying to disassociate herself from the name Glen Dickson or trying to protect him...
- The book keeper is confused and doesn't really know who her boss is...

And the plot thickens...

You may be on to something here as you are not the only one to suggest this... I spoke to the guy who's address in Fort Erie was fraudulently listed as the buyer's address on our paperwork today. He said he thinks that the old lady book keeper is in on it too, and he went even further and said he thinks she is none other than Glen's mom! o_O

That would not surprise me in the least.

I'm picturing a little blue-haired lady, chain smoking while her ashtray overflows on a desk covered in crap. Bring Gramma a cocktail - she might start talking ;)

Kudos to Jonny-Chicken for keeping us posted on this very twisted tale.

Yeah! By the looks of the outside of this office of theirs (which as mentioned previously is actually a run-down house with mattresses on the front lawn, decaying phone book at front door, missing door knob on rear door, missing hydro meter, old a/c unit about to burst through destroyed roof, unplated car in driveway, etc...) I think your image of the overflowing ashtray is spot on!

I've gotta run, as I have a long weekend to get to and it's now after 5pm.... haahahaa...

However... I've been working diligently on this mystery today and made another trip to Fort Erie...

So, here is a brief update...

First of all, this is not over yet... haahahaa... Still going... and going... No sign of our $1700 yet...

I visited with Glen's mom again... haahahaaa... She's such a sweet lady. Definitely not the book keeper and definitely not in on this scam... I'll have more to share on Tuesday...

I also saw a trailer parked at the KMC Head office that wasn't there last time... with a load on it... I'll have to provide the rest of this update next week.

Happy May 24 weekend to all! :cool:

As promised... The latest on this quagmire...

When I spoke to Glen's mom on Friday I was a bit more talkative, as you know, we have a rapport now... haahahahaaa...

I can't remember the exact words she used, but when I told her that Glen owed me money and I was trying to collect, it was clear from her response that I was not the only one...

I asked if he owed her money and got a look from her that told me all I needed to know! haahahahaaa...

As before, she was very sweet and polite throughout our conversation and I gave her the same respect. She is after all a victim here too...

Regarding the trailer I found in the back yard... It was a small flatbed with a ball hitch, maybe 20 or 25 feet long and had a load on it that was wrapped in orange plastic. Seemed like some kind of low rack or frame of some sort... See attached pics.

I saw that there was a trailer rental company listed on the side of the trailer so I contacted them and at first I tried to just act like I needed to contact the person renting the trailer so I could have it moved... When they refused to give me the information I told them my sad story... haahahahaaaa... I also suggested to them that unless they get paid up front for these kinds of rentals that they may want to concern themselves about getting paid for the rental or even getting their trailer back.

I mentioned Glen Dickson to the guy I talked to and he said this rental was under a different person`s name, but that he remembers the name Glen Dickson because he rented him a trailer a few years ago and didn`t get paid for it. haahahahahaaa... Of course...

Yep... Still going here... haahahaaa...

So I checked in with Glen Dickson by text msg nearly two weeks ago about the replacement cheque that both he and the book keeper (who has apparently never heard of Glen Dickson) said was coming... He got back to me and said it should be here that same day... again, that was almost two weeks ago now...

I checked back again the following week (last week) and Glen said that Dale Armstrong was coming back to town last Monday but then something came up and his estimated arrival date was changed to last Thursday... He mentioned that Dale was coming to see me and also had another trucking related issue to discuss with me...

Of course, I had not heard anything by last Friday so I checked in with Glen again... This time I asked for Dale's phone number and Glen gave it to me.

I called the number that Glen gave me to contact Dale Armstrong a few times with no answer. This is one of those phones with no voicemail, so it just rings for a while then goes to a busy signal.

As a reminder to those still interested who might be losing track of everything... Dale Armstrong was the name given to me by the book keeper, she said that was her boss and the owner of KMC Holdings and the only person she had ever dealt with, she claims to have never heard of Glen Dickson... Of course, Glen seems to know the book keeper so I'm not sure what's going on there... haahahaaa...

So I sent a text msg to Dale, explained my story of doing this load for KMC and getting ghosted by Chris Taylor who booked the load with us and my contacts with Glen Dickson and Carol the book keeper... yadda yadda yadda... haahahaaa...

To my great surprise, he responded...

He apologized for the nonsense and mentioned that he was having some issues with Glen and Chris... Said he is flying home at the beginning of the week (this week), he has my cheque, and will bring it to me personally...

So... Obviously I take all of this with a grain of salt and have a look on my face that is something like this: :rolleyes: or maybe even a bit like this: o_O at this point... haahahahaaa...

I don't know what or who to believe and I am inclined to believe nothing and nobody... But there is still a bit of humanity left in me that thinks maybe, just maybe, there is some truth in here somewhere and I continue to advance the chess pieces in hopes of getting paid for our work that was done well over 4 months ago now...

On a wing and a prayer I say! haahahahaaa...

Thanks for continuing to watch this Dumpster Fire sir... haahahaaa... And thank you to the others still checking back to see where this goes...

If I can't get paid for our load, at least I can provide some entertainment for my fellow Inside Transport users...

Perhaps I will retire to a monastery some day when all is said and done... haahahaaa...
