Stephen Wade Chestnut, Wade Chestnut, Scam Artist Palm Coast, Florida

I loaned a friend of mine (at the time) Stephen Wade Chestnut or known to most people as Wade $2,000 to help with his Interior Design business and some personal debts. Fortunately for me I had him sign a loan agreement. Several months went by with promise after promise of repaying me the money along with emails stating Im in such a better place because of you. Little did I know at the time he had secretly moved from the Orlando area over to Tampa because he had not only taken money from me but, he had taken money from clients that he was suppose to be working for. He had received money for services and items that he was suppose to purchase for them but never performed any of those services or purchased any of the items. Unfortunately most of these clients did not sign any type of agreement with him since he was introduced to them by referral by some very well know people.

To top it all off, I find out afterwards that he already had items in collections long before I even loaned him the money. Every time he is located, he moves so that he doesnt have to repay any of these people back. He has moved from Orlando to Port Richey to Tampa, to Jacksonville, to Palm Coast and now supposedly he is back in Orlando.

I did get a judgment against him but, its hard to collect from someone who runs every time he is located.

Please do not fall victim to this person or his Interior Design scams! He comes off as a very sweet, sincere person but, he is not.
