Business Fraud?!
What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? North Carolina. Here's the situation:
I went with my brother to a 4 Wheeler dealership to co-sign for a 4 Wheeler for him. We got there, looked around, and he found the one he wanted. We sat down with the salesman, and he had us sign a paper to check our credit. He comes back and tells my brother that he'll need a deposit (which he didn't have at the time). 3 days later, my brother calls me from there and tells me that "He needs me to come back up there to sign the papers". I told him I had plans and I couldn't just drop what I was doing to go help him. The salesman then asks me "if I'm going to be up there to sign the papers". I told him "Yeah, but not today". Well, later that day, my brother comes home with the 4 Wheeler. I figured that he just got it on his own, and didn't need me to co-sign so I didn't think anything else of it. Come to find out, the salesman told my brother to "Just sign his name just like it looks on his drivers license" (which the dealership had a copy of). What can I do about this? Would I have any chance of taking them to court and winning? The dealership says they have videotape they can go back and look at to see if I was actually here on the day of signing. I told them to go ahead. They also told me if I did "sue" them, then they were going to get my brother for "obtaining property under false pretenses". Is this possible when the salesman let him take the 4 wheeler? Thanks for any help!
