Oh where do I begin? My parents have lived in their home for over 40 years on Date Street in Warminster. Exactly 1 year ago from today my dad had a Massive Stroke. This devastating event took a toll on my parents emotionally, physically and financially. My dad had his own business as a Dental Technician for almost 40 years. He took care of my mom in every way possible. He was always the fixer of everything, a total handy man, car mechanic, etc. Since the stroke, he has lost his ability to use his right arm/hand, leg, walk and speak. Mentally he is all there.. thank God. My mom is left to fend for them. She is not used to this role.
On Sunday, Oct. 14th, this scam artist John Schwartz of 428 Fir Street in Warminster sat down with my mom and collected $300 in cash from her in exchange for a service he had never planned on providing. The receipt says he was going to trim 2 trees that are hanging over the house and cleaning up brush from her back yard. He was also in the midst of scamming the neighbors next door, already collecting $200 up front from them. In the week that followed, John Scumbag Schwartz did not do any of the work listed on the receipt, instead he did the following:
1. He asked my mom to use her bathroom to change his clothes (he claimed to live in Philly when he lives on Fir Street, 2 streets over)
2. He asked my mom to "borrow" $100, and when she hesitated he then asked to borrow $50. She said "no".
3. He complained that his wife died from a stroke (the nerve of him!!) and that his son lives in a dive of a house and is a drug addict (who he had on site and actually came into my parents' house to use their bathroom).
4. He saw my mom carrying a cup of coffee and asked if it was for him because he had not had any breakfast that morning.
5. He cut down tree branches from the neighbor's trees and put them all over my mom's front lawn by the chipper (that he never starts up or uses, I believe its to help with his scam he has been running since at least 2011). He then showed up at 1 pm on Thursday, 10/18, took the truck away, and never came back.
I called this blubbering idiot on Friday morning demanding that he return to my parents' house and get his tree branches off of her property as well as give her back the $300 cash that he stole from her. He told me he would be there but that he wouldn't have the money until Monday (today). Well of course he never showed up and won't answer the phone. I called him approximately 15 times Friday evening prior to notifying the Warminster Twp Police Dept. He does not have a voicemail set up so there is no way to leave a message. The police were also unsuccessful in reaching him and even went to his residence on Fir Street but the person who answered the door said that he wasn't expected home til after 9:00. No one has heard from him since.
My husband, my daughter, my mom, my mom's neighbor and I all spent Sat afternoon sawing, clipping and bagging all of the trees that were left all over my parents' property by John Scumbag Schwartz. I am beyond angry. Why has no one done anything to stop this awful man? I am prepared to take him to court. I would love to get this man behind bars. Please, if you had a run in with this coward, please contact me. Together we can all take this lazy excuse of a human down!! From the reports I have seen posted online he has easily stolen thousands of dollars from people.
