I followed this post from "ripped off." I am a 50 year old disabled grandmom in Mayfair. This man is very dangerous. He beat me with a metal object after we had a dispute. Police were called. Even though I had marks- the police suggested I go down 1134 S. 11th Street to file a private criminal complaint.
What can we do to make sure he doesn't threaten or terrorize other women?
This dude is a serious scammer. I found this guy on craigslist to do some concrete work, got an estimate, gave him a deposit and he has yet to do the work and his name is Terry and won't call me back. Said he would give me a receipt but never came back. Dude don't even have a real license, I called the contractors association and found this out today. I am reporting him for fraud as I am sure there are other victims out there and one guy was just arrested for the same thing here in PA a few months ago. That guy was scamming people thru craigslist too. He has many different ads on the philly craigslist the names are below:
tri county home repairs/renovations
rock solid concrete/masonry contractors
Livewire electrical services
cutting edge pro painters
priced rite plumbing
citywide handyman services
I currently have a civil action against him for the same thing. Hearing is scheduled for January 11,2010 in Municipal Court in Phila. I also intend to turn the matter over to the Attorney General's office for criminal prosecution.
I was scammed by Terry also just last week. He told me the job would be $250.00 to run a new electrical wire. They tore out my kitchen ceiling, punched large holes in my walls and left a switch box with the wires hanging out. The cost went to $450.00. Terry will not come back as he promised citing all kinds of excuses. He was suppose back today -- haven't heard from him. I will be filing a civil complain against him on Monday; it should really be a criminal complaint
