Not unique to FL, as the same exists in Alaska, Colorado and Kalifornia! TG the web offers some good resources for screening. While I had good experiences with a former LaHabra, CA-based CF vendor, another dismantler in Anaheim/Placentia area was a ripoff, then defended by his fellow vendor pal in CF posts. Such folks make CL look great!

He went on trips, went racing, enjoyed the money, bought things. Never asked her where the money was coming from since neither were working.

He has to sell the stuff that he bought with the money.

AH! So since neither were working, it was a problem. Gotcha. I don't check the wife's paycheck regularly so I often wondered how, hypothetically, someone could get into trouble if the spouse did something naughty. I mean, if she makes 6 figure and suddenly an 8 figure deposit comes in, sure. OTOH, if she took $500 cash bribes, it might be hard for me to be sure it was mostly honest and partly dishonest.
