Thread: Yacht in Sea Transport - beware

Started 6 months, 1 week ago by VTBoater
I sent a personal check for $1641 dollars to Yacht in Sea as a deposit of half the cost to move my boat. The owner, Norman Franklin Griffin was very responsive prior to getting money, and afterwards has been nearly impossible to get a hold of. He gave me excuses, over 2 weeks later never came through with any truck for the move. I asked for my money back and so far have received nothing. He ...

Sorry you got burned, but if you knew he was bad, why did you use him? Every time I have used a boat transport, I make the deal where I pay the driver in Green, Folding, US Cash, upon successful delivery of the vessel.

I did not know this before hand. He was recommended to me by Great Lakes boat haulers who I had called. Due to the recommendation I did not do my homework and check up on him as well as I should have, the only way I found out his full name was through a forward to him by GL boat haulers of an email I sent complaining he was ignoring me. Freshwater boats/ Great lakes boat haulers has now pulled ...

Wow, things went from bad to worse with me. Norman scamed me for $2000.00. After the check was stoped he called and called trying to finish the shipment and saying he had a driver and was ready to pickup. He thretend to take me to court for the money he was out for permits and that we had a contract. I wired the money and now cant make contact. I am starting filing on him in the morning. I...

He is one heck of a talker to convince you to wire him money after you knew he was a questionable business. I am going to check with Yacht trader and see if I can get them to drop his advertising. I want to see this guy out of business, behind bars would be even better.

Has anyone called the FBI? Technically this could qualify as interstate commerce, they might take the case. One of you guys should call your local field office .

Talker, lier, thief. I filled out the paperwork to the Oklahoma attorney general and will online file them tonight. I'm not sure if he has a broker bond and not sure how to find out. Did anyone else file against him?

'09, I really hope you're able to get this guy. And I don't say this to rub any salt in your wound. But I when I read your first post about going to stop payment I said, good for him, I hope he's in time. When I read later that you then paid him after he berated you, I almost fell out of my chair. Good luck with the attorney general, I hope it works out.

VTBoater replied 6 months ago
My complaint paperwork is all filled out, I just need to make copies of the paperwork and mail out. I will prioritize this and have it in the mail by the end of the day tomorrow. After I got my boat this went on the back burner, but now after reading this and thinking more about it I am burning! We need to get this guy stopped.

I called last week and was told there is new information on the case, and that a letter would be sent out very soon. I was getting my hopes up a little they might have made some progress, as if. No letter has come yet, but now I know what it will say. They are going to let him off the hook because he is sick, riggggghhhhhtttt. I don't belive for a minute he is really sick. Everything that guy says is a lie. What does filing a civil suit...

if you guys are wiring money or sending checks across state lines you have to call the FBI.you should file a complaint in every jurisdiction you can.not many jurisdictions will extradite for a white collar crime. The feds will go get him anywhere.

I think I found his cousins - they run the auto-transport business. I emailed a single company and asked for an EMAIL quote to get my summer car to Miami for the winter. I've been getting 6-7 phone calls per day from various outfits ever since. The place I contacted turned out to be a "broker". After reading online reviews (which sound a LOT like this thread), I decided I'd drive it myself.
