Furniture Store Owner Faces Up To 50 Years In Prison
Charles Thomas Ingram, III, the former owner of High Point Furniture in Gulfport, Mississippi, has pleaded guilty to five counts of false pretense after bilking customers of thousands of dollars. Prosecutors say Ingram opened a store that appeared legitimate but was found to be merely taking advantage of people trying to recover from hurricane damage. Ingram sold, but never delivered, furniture to a number of customers. Ingram faces up to 50 years in prison and more than $116,000 in restitution. Sentencting is set for May 5, 2009.

I went in there right after it opened and I told the person with me "There is something about this store that does not feel right". My gut feelings are usually right on the money. Scarey!
That was in return to what people seeking for the easiest way in collecting money rather than to work for it, for me it is better to get in a furniture store online.
Scare me but it was right
