Rapper Sean Kingston has a looooong history of scamming jewelers, using his name and clout to secure diamonds and then failing to pay for his purchases [click here here here here and here if you missed that].
Welp, Kingston's home in Miami just got raided and his mother was arrested after he scammed an electronics store out of a high-end entertainment system...
From Local 10
A number of Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies, including SWAT team members, were seen at the Southwest Ranches home of rapper Sean Kingston Thursday morning. Authorities said they took his mother into custody.
The home is in the area of Southwest 146th Avenue and 46th Street.
Outside, Local 10 News spotted more than a dozen BSO deputies, next to a command center that investigators set up in the driveway of Kingston’s home.
In a civil complaint obtained from the Broward Clerk of Courts, a company by the name Ver Ver Entertainment alleges that Kingston, 34, partially paid for a 232-inch television and entertainment system but, following the installation, never paid for the product in full.
The complaint goes on to allege that Kingston used his name and celebrity status to scam people out of products and services — never paying for them.
Attorney Dennis Card, who represents Ver Ver Entertainment, spoke to Local 10 News on Thursday.
“He basically has a sales pitch that he goes through to defraud people. He induces them into giving him really expensive things,” Card said. “We know that our property is inside this house right here, so as soon as the raid takes place we are going to have a crew of people in there to reassemble it and take it back to its rightful owner.”
Kingston has not been seen on the property, though his relatives were there Thursday. They declined to speak with Local 10 News.
Authorities said they took Kingston’s mother Janice Turner, 60, into custody on “numerous fraud and theft charges” pursuant to an investigation that began in Dania Beach earlier that morning.
