What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
My husband and I sold a working dryer back in November of 2015; we were moving to a new home and had no use for a gas dryer any longer. It worked just fine when we used it in Oakland up until June of 2015 when it was carefully packed and moved to our rental. It sat packed in our garage until the buyer picked it up. I recieved a text message yesterday March 3 2016 almost 4 months later reading:
"This is ... (Name omitted)((city omitted) PD Officer/Detective). I bought your dryer ($250) and you told me to let you know if it didn't work. We garaged it until 4 days ago (Sun.) and then installed it. The lights work and the drum turns, but the heating element is bad. It takes 4+ cycles to dry a load. I spent $600 at Home Depot last night for a new one. What do you suggest we do? "
I was beyond confused. It's been 4 months, the sell was as is and I never once said if it didn't work to call me. Sure had it been a day, a week or even a month after the sale I would of gladly refunded the money but 4 months, no way. I asked for advise from friends and family and they believe it's a scam. So I did not respond. Now today I get another text:
"What do you think is fair/right to do about the dryer situation?"
Now I'm even more frustrated that a person in his position is trying using his title as leverage. Suggestions on how to proceed? Thx!
