Craigslist Scammer Dave McDonald

The list grows on and on and on for innocent business owners ripped off by Dave McDonald. Please, please, do not be duped into giving him one red cent of your money. I read some of the reports online of him but mistakenly thought I could get a deal from him. He sucks you in after a decent sale and then offers a hard to pass up deal if you pay up front. Then the excuses come...I bought one vending machine from him and was offered a "buy 3 get the 4th free" deal. He wanted to hold the machines until I had accounts for them but thinking ahead (or so I thought) we agreed I would take all machines immediately. I played it safe (or so I thought) by only paying for 2 up front so he'd still want the rest off the money but again, I got sucked in to a hard to resist deal of $200 off the 3rd machine if I pay up front. (BIG MISTAKE!) Well, after weeks of badgering, dozens of broken promises, no-shows and flat out lies I got my 3rd machine. Mind you this is after months of lies! Every machine was a battle. Not once did it come easy as you expect. A death in the family, mom is sick, an emploeye screwed up, my truck is in the shop, I have a terrible sinus infection, I'm overwhelmed.. He'll even send you pictures of your machines loaded on his truck and promise delivery in the morning To get you off his back for a day. Guess what, it's NOT going to happen! "Bank on it" "I'm really sorry I know I screwed up, I'm going to shock you with an incredible machine" " I need and appreciate your business". ALL LIES. Yes, he'll even have his mom call and vouche for him. "He's been really sick but your machine is beautiful, it's the best one I've seen". It's so outrageous it's hard to believe but do your research on him and everyone will confirm the same bullshit stories. I'm still out $900 and no machine as promised for over 2 months. Do you realize how many times you have to lie to not deliver a machine for 2 months? I even lost my best account because I made the mistake of "banking on it" with him.

i have every single text saved to verify every lie he's ever told and what is owed. Call me out Dave, I'd be happy to post all your lies available for download. You're a liar and a thief. This is just the beginning. When I'm done with you, you won't be able to sell a machine from a grass hut in Indonesia.

Pete

More of the same lies

AUTHOR: Vendo100 - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, September 10, 2015

Mcdoanld is a pathological liar , his mother is part of the problem and she taught him well.

surprised he is still at the scam game     but    every part of your dealings with mcdonald  was exactly the same for me and like all the other people on here and other forums.

all the same excuses, failed delivery ( never did deliver) ,mother calling .forgot, sick, death in family ( he has used that one twice on me ) .waiting on UPS for a part. 

cost me legal fees to get my deposit back , plus I ended up buying a machine elsewhere to save the account I have.

Lucky I didn't pay up front for the "4th machine free deal " like to many other fall into.

AUTHOR: owner - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, September 08, 2015

It is unbelievable to me that I have text from this man that state it is impossible to stay mad at you with equipment that is as nice as yours.  it is spotless and works.  $900 for his first machine and it is perfect and still out working perfectly. (I even drove back to his location with a lock and key when the lock and key are not part of the sale for security reasons). 2nd machine also delivered like first one to his location in Franklin Park and it also working perfectly. He paid $900 for that one also.   Third machine he paid me $700.00 and got a $200 discount for paying on front end.  Third machine delivered to his driveway and he text delivery confirmation to me as well as the great condition comment.  So to be clear machines are $900 each and he has 3.   900 times 3 is 2700.00 and he has paid me $$2500 total.  he has received 3 machines.  Now he has never paid for delivery not once.  he has never paid for set up although i only set up the first one.  his complaint is that the fourth machine or the free machine has not been delivered yet. we NEVER HAD A DELIVERY DATE FOR FOURTH MACHINE TO MY KNOWLEDGE AS BY HIS ADMISSION HE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCOUNT FOR IT...  never HAVE I SAID HE DOES NOT HAVE A FREE MACHINE COMING.  I HAVE TAKEN HIS ABUSE AND THREATS TO A POINT I CANT EXPLAIN.  NOW HE IS OUT TO DESTROY ME.  THE GUY THAT HAS PROVIDED A PERFECT PRODUCT AT A DISCOUNT.  WOW!!!  KICK THE GUY IN THE TEETH THAT IS THE PERSON HELPING YOU. THEN HE ATTACKS MY MOTHER AN 88 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN IN THE VENDING INDUSTRY HER WHOLE LIFE AND WANTS NOTHING TO DO BUT HELP.  DO I SIT AND TALK NEGATIVELY ABOUT YOUR NEW WIFE WHO I SPENT AN HOUR WITH BOTH OF YOU DISCUSSING VENDING??  wow AGAIN. AS STATED YOUR 4TH MACHINE IS IN PROCESS AS IS A LEGAL SUIT FOR MALICOUS INTERFERENCE WITH MY BUSINESS.  THIS IS UNREAL TO ME AND JUST SHOWS WHAT TYPE OF VENUE THIS REALLY IS.   YOU CALL ME A THIEF (SERIOUSLY).  (YOU TRASH MY 88 YEAR OLD MOTHER) SERIOUSLY,  I THINK THE REAL TRUTH HERE IS YOU HAVE RECEIVED 3 MACHINES FOR A BARGAIN PRICE AND AS FOR THE 4TH MACHINE WOW AGAIN THAT IS A GIFT.  TAKE SOME ADVICE GROW UP AND STOP THE THREATENING.  I SLANDAR NOBODY AS I HAVE NOT WRITTEN A SINGLE NAME BUT I ASSURE YOU OF THIS..............THREATENING TO DESTROY ME IS SO OFF THE WALL IT IS UNREAL.  CRAIGSLIST IS A HOBBY IT IS CERTAINLY NOT MY PRIMARY INCOME.    I WILL NOT REBUTTAL ANY OTHER POSTS AS THE POSTS IN MY OPINION ARE A FORM OF BLACKMALE IN THE FIRST PLACE.   I HAVE FULL DOCUMENTATION OF EVERY COMMENT I HAVE MADE.  THANK YOU.

Update on Dave McDonald - Day 1

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, September 08, 2015

It didnt take too long for Dave to read this post and I'm glad he did. He called, texted, left a voicemail trying to pick apart my post but it's all true and you know it. YOU made a deal with me for 4 machines for the price of 3. You would not have my money if the deal was for 3 machines. When you don't deliver the 4th it's THEFT. Dave,you've beat me down. I'm done interacting with you on a personal level. The only interaction we will have from here going forward is in a public forum where you can continue to dig yourself deeper or in court.

You can make threats to me all you want, keep it up. It's more ammunition for me to bury you and your business. It's not slanderous if it's the truth and have the documentation to back it up. I gave you my word and unlike you I follow through. You've said many times in your defense on here for your accusers to set a date for delivery or a refund and you'll deliver yet you don't. Time and time again. My date and time is anytime, anywhere. Leave a machine in my driveway 24/7 and the security video will be proof of delivery undamaged.

It's a shame you're a thief because you actually have some people skills and could run a legitimate business if you were honest. You could've made a lot of money off of me and many others had you just delivered as promised. You are what you sow, and you turn your customers into bitter spiteful people out for revenge rather than return customers.

See you in court.
