EZserve Desserts, Inc

Review: I purchased 2 soft serve ice cream machines from EZserve Desserts on Feb **, 2013. I met with the company's President, [redacted], and wired his company $5,400 for which I have an invoice. This equipment was to be shipped to me after they received funds. I also invested $2,500 into this company and have some paperwork on this as well. The reason for the investment was a better price on the machines in exchange. I have not received the equipment or refund which I requested. I have seen Mr. [redacted] on several occasions and I just kept getting excuses from the machines were delivered to someone else, to the machines were being held up in port on a container from China, etc... I now believe the whole thing was a scam and I was an unfortunate victim of it. Mr. [redacted] (approx. 77 years old) is a Virginia Beach, VA resident but his business address is in NY where the VP of the company, [redacted], resides. These men have ties to numerous businesses including [redacted], and others. I want my money back of course, but more than that, I don't want others to fall into the trap of this smooth talking man.Desired Settlement: I certainly seek a full refund of the $5,400 for the equipment and the $2,500 for the investment. I believe I should also be entitled to interest from March **, 2013 and possibly even loss of revenue as these machines were to be in operation this spring/summer on my food carts on the Virginia Beach boardwalk.
