CAUTION - I'm posting this to alert others to a serious issue that raised major concerns about…read moreprofessionalism and ethics. I mistakenly sent this handyman a Zelle payment intended for another vendor. The payment clearly referenced my invoice number. Bank of America confirmed he received the funds, and their retrieval request was denied because he refused to authorize the return. After one short phone call where I politely explained the mistake and several follow-up text messages, he blocked all of my calls and texts, and I never heard from him again. The money was never returned, despite clear evidence it was sent in error. I worry about what that could mean for future clients or more important matters. I urge others to proceed with caution with this vendor.
