Contractor screwed me for $6000. Pass this on...

[tbyrne]

Long story short, I had a good friend that was a contractor and he was supposed to do some work for me. He took $6000., did about $500. in work and never showed up to complete the job. Then he laughed when I asked him to give me the rest back. The whole story and his smiling face is now listed at -

I'd appreciate it if you can pass this to other boards that your on. Just take the info and run! I really want to spread the word here! Alot of the New England sites are going to be getting this info along with some of the local media. It's time for him to pay the piper... one way or another!

Thanks!

Sucks, and I hope it works out for you.

You have to be leary of someone who wants 66% - 75% up front. IMO, you shouldn't have done that (being a contractor myself). "Friendship" can definitely cloud your judgement sometimes.

Good luck.

Thanks guys&#33; I knew &#036; was tight with him so I figured I&#39;d help out by giving him the job and material &#036; up front. We shouldn&#39;t not trust our friends but I was played.

That is terrible. I hope you manage to get most of whats back and ill be sure to pass it on.

How about free parts to all those that find this guy and "pay him back " for you&#33; Seriously this is one of the lowest things someone can do to a person&#33; what a piece of shit, he&#39;ll get his&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

karma is a bitch rest assured.... nobody gets away with that kind of stuff... something will always come full circle

What a loser. Good luck. You could follow him to work some days and inform his clients of your dealings with him. Wouldn&#39;t that be fun?

Once a week, put a note on his window that says: "Could today be the day your truck explodes with you in it...?"

That has a way of making people change their way of thinking. I&#39;ve heard.
