>All,
>Just had a very bad experience with Jim Hart of Sovereign Brokerage
>Services, located at 100 Cummings Center, Suite 339C, Beverly, MA 01915.
>  Mr. Hart has proven to me that he is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a crook.

>In mid December 2000 I took a Porsche in on trade from a client
>and friend.  I was contacted about this vehicle approximately two weeks
>later by Jim Hart, who said that he had a customer for it.  He signed a
>Purchase Order on Dec. 20th and was supposed to have a wire transfer for
>the full amount to me within 3 days.  The wire never showed.  Three days
>later and the wire never showed.  He said he needed more time to get the
>money together and I gave him another week.  Still no money.  Finally he
>sends me a check.  It bounces.  More excuses come forth.  I give him a
>deadline and it passes with no payment.  I sell the car to another
>client.  Now comes the bad part.  The buyer found an ad for the car on
>the net and contacted the original owner about it, who asks me why I am
>saying the car is still available when the buyer thinks it will be
>delivered today (1/29/01) in San Diego!  I call the buyer and confirm
>that this is true, assuring him that the car is NOT on a truck as it has
>not been paid for.  And contrary to Mr. Harts claim that he had not been
>paid for the car yet, the "buyer" wired payment in full on the 13th of
>Jan!  He (the buyer, who happens to work at a Porsche dealer in CA), still
>is being told that the car is being delivered today,
>while it sits in the garage of my house as I type this.
>
>After a bit more research I now have proof that Mr. Hart and his company
>are under investigation by the FBI in more than one state in multiple
>cases for exactly the same actions.  Taking money for cars that never
>show up, and then re-selling those cars to other customers.  He has been
>banned from Hemming's for such business practices.  I will be happy to
>fax anyone interested copies of these documents, as well as give you the
>number of the gentleman who initiated/was the cause for one of these FBI
>investigations.  Just e-mail me with your fax #.
>
>Jim Hart (and Sovereign Brokerage Services) is a flat out crook, and I
>highly suggest that no-one ever do business with this gentleman or his
>company.  And please keep in mind that I am not trying to slander or
>libel Mr. Hart, I am merely telling the truth an trying to protect
>fellow friends and auto enthusiasts.
