Payment of an old debt with a bad check is not a crime. You will have to sue the dead beat in civil court.
Go to the police. It is the same as theft.
DO NOT accept any amount of payment in any sort of deal or agreement other than the full amount, right now.
Any sort of modification of the original agreement where they wrote you the check is considered an acceptable modification of the original agreement and now you are stuck down in civil court if you have to seek any type of redress.
Right now it is a criminal court crime and the police and prosecutor should be seeking the criminal and prosecuting.
In civil court all those costs will be yours.
It is amazing - a person who's made a name for himself and promotes said name in the Outdoor Industry who allot of folks here would know the name chooses to create a shell game defrauding people.
Crazy. But

gave the investigator 6 other names and phone numbers this am, they have exact same story as mine...there are more, I know of 2 more but do not have their contact info as of now..thats 9 people including me is what I have counted - who knows if there are more??? the amount of money is way up there...I have seen 3 bad 5 figure checks written including mine...none of these 9 people have gotten their boat, there have been no serial numbers and or pictures shown where there were boats and money not refunded....I just found out another persons delivery date is in 2 weeks, by way of chance knowing some one who knows him...hes been reading all the reports in the papers...
my deal was in my mind all secured by the boat...but, there is no boat as I know now. Law enforcement and lawyers involved - this has been extremely stressful...
Yep he’s on another fishing guide thread too. Posted the story over there last week.As I was reading the post, I knew exactly who it was.. Good luck! Sad thing for sure..
warrants issued yesterday for Shane Watson of Shane Watson Guide Service - from the Sheriff:
"that guy has a million dollars worth of bad checks /fraud hanging over him and is on the run, he is in the NCIC Nationwide"
** they took an old man in Roswell for 180k and wrote him a 250K bad check...as just one horrible act they did...
