Mason Swathout con artist and swindler Beverly Hills, California

Mason worked for a door to door magazine subscription company.  Gave me a whole sob story about how he's trying to make ends meet.  Thought I was helping him out by buying some magazines.  Gave him the money and he gave me a semi-official receipt so I was satisfied.  Never received the magazines.  Tried calling the numbers on the receipt and they were disconnected/wrong numbers. Called the magazines directly to see if there was a mistake and they never even heard of me or the magazine company that Mason worked for.  What a sham.
