Last week on Sat I went to see a woman who advertised herself as a "Surrogate Knitter". She look at me knitting and the sweater I wanted and told me "yes"" she could work it up to be a beautiful sweater. She said it would cost me "$200" and I could have it by the end of Feb2007. I gave her $50 as a deposit and received a bill statement saying" Redo sweater finish by end of Feb $50 deposit balance $150. She calle dme 3 days later to say the working is going too slow and she would not be working for $2.00/hour as the sweater re'd more work than she thought. I told her she would not be receiving any more increases in the money ,but that she could take a few months to finish the sweater. She told me I was pressuring her and she was not doing the work. She told me to come and pick-up the wool , less $50 as she had unwinding my work and had start to knit 1 1/2" of the sleeves .
I think she should refund the money completely as she is a fraud,plus she did not complete her contract .

You'd have to file in small claims court. The police would not handle this situation. Make sure you have a reciept for the money you gave her or you're out of luck. BTW Surrogate knitter?!?

You can file a complaint in small claims court at the county office. However, it will probably run you more than $50 to get your $50 back. But I'd go and ask them what it would cost.

No a policeman cannot help you in this situation. Small claims court would be the route I would take. You could also hire a lawyer, but this would be expensive. This is an issue to take to court, just remember to also sue for court costs.
