There is a special place in hell for people who rip off churches.
Have a church in my home town that was ripped off for about $20K by a copier company that had already gone out of business. The vendor wrote the church a 63 month lease with the service packed into the lease payment 3 months after the sherif had put a lock and chain on their doors. To make matters worse when the pastor of the church signed the lease he accidently signed in the wrong spot. When we got our hands on the actual lease doc on file with the leasing company we found that the dealer had forged the lease rather than go back and get a new doc signed. I urged the church to get legal council and go to the authorities but they were either too proud or to embarrassed to do so. They only found out the dealer's deciet after the machine broke for the first time and they called for service only to find the number no longer in service.
As it turned out the guy had continued writing leases for months after his business no longer existed. Every one with the service built into the lease. He left quite a trail of destruction and did a lot of damage to our industry's reputation. I had the BA at one of the biggest school districts in my area tell me he will never deal with an independant copier dealer again after his experience with this thief.
