Hired for electrical work. He said he was licensed (I now know licensed handyman!) He needed half money as deposit and to buy materials. I gave him a check $1100 (really stupid of me). Then his electrician, he fired. but he would interview others. No contract. I asked for receipt, no address, etc then only refunding #1k , then waiting to refund of parts. Then only $700, but car dropped Trans, so I offered to let him mail it but: certified check, and PO send priority mail. So we would have a tracking number. he claims he did? But a week later not in mail still. cell phone broke, etc. Im getting scammed! Im over 70, taking advantage of me. etc. but I need to money to hire another "licensed" electrician. No work done. many excuses and cashed my check.* read more
