What Happens if Somebody Sells You a Rented Television

[bam!]

$200 for a 65 inch Samsung? And you didn't find that suspicious?

Take it as a lesson learned. If the deal is too good to be true, it is. This is another reason I don't help people with "money issues" in this manner. If they had the "money" to buy TV like that, they don't have their priorities straight.

Also to add to this, I have a signed receipt from the person that says the tv is his, and free and clear from any liens or loans against it with his signature on it and his social security. Am I still required to give it back with this paper?

Of course you are. It's not the fault of Aaron's that the dude lied to you. It's their TV, and you are required by law to return it to them.

But, hey, if you're up for a criminal record that will interfere with the rest of your life - retaining stolen property is not looked upon kindly, and sometimes even results in jail time - well, then, you go ahead and keep that TV that doesn't belong to you, and don't come to us looking for a way to get out of criminal charges.

I was just asking, the tv had been returned already. Now to figure out how to get my money back

[LawResearcherMissy]

We already told you how: Sue him in small claims court.

sue him and report him to the police for selling you stolen property.
