Carolina Furniture AKA International Home Furniture AKA Miller Burns Furniture HR H.R. Privette ripoff scams as a profession Calabash North Carolina

Hi Frank,

I believe that it would benefit you to call or fax Grace at the US Postal Inspector's office ASAP. Her direct line is 312-669-5679 and her fax # is 312-669-5651.

At this time they are investigating this case as mail fraud and need to hear from as many people as they can who have had dealings with CF and Mr. Privette. Mail fraud is a federal offense so this case will get some attention from the federal authorities.

I do not believe that they have the "power" to get our money back, but they do have the ability to hopefully put Mr. Privette out of business.

I would seriously doubt that Mr. Privette has any assets in his name. I am assuming that since he is a seasoned con artist he has probably moved all assets into some type of protected environment.

It is my understanding that he is currently renting a house in South Carolina, right over the state line from Calabash, NC.

I did an overall synopsis of this web site and put together a spread sheet outlining the deposits that were lost by those of us who have used this forum to vent our frustrations. Our group comprises 19 states and have a total of $58,397 worth of deposits sitting in Mr. Privette's bank account. There are 6 people who did not mention the amount of their deposits, so the afore mentioned total will be higher.

I understand, via conversations with other investigating offices, that there was also a $9.000 and $20,000 deposit lost by 2 other people.

This is a very ugly situation. I hope we all get our deposits back.
