The Letter of confirmation contained references of carrier that I have hauled for me in the past. The load was picked up from Ritchie Brothers Auction site in Milan, MI on 11th June, 2009. Monday, 14th June I received a phone call from Frank Jr how wanted cash upfront for the consignment hauled.

I demanded for delivery proof at this stage Frank Snr dropped the phone on me and later called back to leave a message on my phone that If I don't wire the fund to his company he will put the Consignment(Grove Crane ) in storage. searching for solution I called my bank who Offered to provide banker's guarantee to Rinaudo Enterprise, Inc the reply was "NO", All effort to contact Frank Snr proved abortive, I have to result to Email and Fax to demand the where about of the consignment. I received an Invoice and wire instruction on 17th June, 2009, I agreed to wire the fund on ground that the delivery confirmation of a stamped dock receipts will be sent within 24hrs of receipts of the wire transfer .
