James Buckley, this message is directly to you, remember me? I'm one of your victims that you scammed for $2000 on 2/11/22. During this time I hired James to paint my house which is approximately 900 square feet. It started with one excuse that I generously let slide, then started as a continuous cycle of excuse after excuse. It seemed that James tried to avoid the work at my house for months and months. This cycle started getting frustrating due to the amount of days taken off of work, to wait for no one to show up and paint. Out of those months of no work James decided to show up for 2 days. In those two days James did absolutely nothing but put 10ft of used tape up, had cans of used paint that wasn't even my color, and took photos of my house without my consent and posted them on his social media. These pictures made no sense whatsoever because they had no work to be shown in the pictures. For those two days James took a fabricated photoshoot of his "work" and then left, with no painting done because he had to leave with another excuse. Here is a list of a couple of his excuses;- "his partners car was broken down", "then his son was in trouble", "he was in the hospital with a virus", "his house caught on fire", "His mother passed away", "his truck broke down again", and it seemed it was always something. Most of the time he told me he was going to show up the next morning but never showed up. There are countless more of these phony excuses he preached to me. I was so ancy to get this job done that I even purchased the paint for him and told him to come paint so I can move into my house again. After 4 months of nothing done to my house; I came to a realization that I made a huge mistake to give him my money and trust him with my time. So after those months of absence I decided to terminate the job because I knew that he had no intentions to work and he ran off with my money. This was truly devastating to me because my husband recently passed away and I realized I was taken advantage of. I have seen multiple elderly women, and people just like me getting manipulated and I just want to let you know something is going to be done. One thing that I cannot stand is a liar and a theft and you have proved to me that you are that person, James read more
