I got a call about putting up a privacy fence. The new homeowner was out of town, and had just bought a new house. He wanted the work done on the property before moving in. I went to the home and took measurements. I saw the for sale sign in the yard. I sent him a quote, and he accepted it immediately. Then he sent the a check with an extra $5000. He wanted me to depsoit the check and give the $5000 to the the homeowner. He said he was in the hospital. He sent a picture of himself at the hospital. Then he sent an AI video approving the work. I called the realtor on the for sale sign. She told me her father owned the home and she hadn't had any interest in it, so it hadn't sold. I told him I would not cash the check. He was very perisistent.

On January 8, 2025, I had work done on my garage door. I paid $722.00 for the services with my VISA card. After about 2-3 weeks, the garage door opens and closes but it jerks. It's the rollers on the roll bar that jerks. So I'm thinking they shouldn't do that so I called them 7-8 times but the phone will answer but it's just music. I called the ScamPulse.com to see if they were a legit business but found out that they were not a legit business. So I filed a ScamReport with BBB.

Received a postcard in the mail advising that I contact their offices so I do not have a lapse in all available covered components. The postcard reads "County Deed Records" on the back side. It shows the type of location as "Dwelling" and "Mechanical Systems" as the component element carrier. The coverage area is inside/outside. It shows an expiration date, notice date, home inspection as waived, and a usage limit as continual. It further reads on the postcard as follows: With active services, all repairs and replacements will be covered that reflect your updated paperwork. Call 1-888-413-5452 now before it's too late and your expiration date expires leaving your home at risk of expensive repairs and/or product replacement.

This person asks for a deposit to start home repairs for materials. He then never shows. He comes up with several excuses. He has done this to several people. Complaints have been filed with the state but he is still doing it.

Two men in yellow and blue polo shirts labeled restore and construct came to our door in the afternoon around 4:20 pm knocking repeatably. When I answered they claimed they had done major remodels with our neighbors (we are the only ones on our street who have had a major remodel in the last year) asking if we were interested. I told them no we just finished remodeling. Then they said that we had an old roof in need of repair. I told them the roof was less than 6 month old and that’s when I knew they were lying outright. They tried protesting that they believed me but that they could do the repairs which I declined saying we have a contractor. I stopped them multiple times from interrupting me as I tried to tell them to leave but they were not listening.

They are talking about the heat pump and they did not come up to par with Nova Scotia, I called our main place here and they informed me that they do anything with rebates. They are not up to Canada's Standards. This is suspicious they want you to finance and we you do the programs through the government you would not have to finance, we do not pay anything for the programs, rebates pay for the installments. They then said nothing come out of my pocket and all it is pay peter to pay paul.

I hired a contractor to fix a fence. He showed up with who he said were his sons started the work. At 10 am he asked for money for material he needed claimed he was going there and to pick up lunch and never returned. Turns out he picked up the other men's from Home Depot promised to pay them and left them here to discover he scammed all of us. He was given $450 cash. Upon talking to people I found someone else he did the same thing to but that time he walked away with $3,000. He is near Slauson and Western areas in south LA.

I need to blast this company. For 3yrs I had a feeling something wasn't right with my lawn for the services I paid to have. I hired Gecko Green to provide lawn treatment and tree and shrub treatment. My grass looks a mess right along with my dead tree in back. I decided to increase my sensitivity on my surveillance cameras cuz I always get notifications on when my service date to be rendered... Well guess what my camera caught yesterday? Him driving right on by. And charging me for services rendered. Fraud...Fraudulent...I'm pulling my camera footage to see how long this has been going on cuz it definitely matches up with my crappy yard. I need all my damn money back. $130 a month for nuffin

Stephen Rogers from Prestige Contracting offered his services to do the

driveway with recycled asphalt for a price of $7000 (no taxes). My

mother signed a contract with him and the work is guaranteed for 5

years. Upon completion of the driveway, there were loose asphalt rocks

throughout and it was crumbling on the sides. My mother has called

Stephen Rogers on numerous accounts, we have sent emails to

[email protected] but they were undeliverable. We have

also sent texts with pictures and videos to his associate, Liam. We

would like for them to come and repair the loose stones and holes and

crumbling sides. There is a house on Montée Crooks (just besides us) who

have similar issues with Prestige Contracting. Here are the phone

numbers we have been trying to reach:

873-455-5458 (Stephen)

343-544-6023 (Liam)

437-580-8761 (Prestige Contracting)

647-763-8176 (Prestige Contracting)

When we walk on the driveway, the rocks (asphalt) come off so we can

just imagine what it will look like during the winter.

I clean houses and I have a professional cleaning business, and we clean residential home.  I received a call from a guy with a course accent (Nigerian).  He and his wife had purchased a home and we would like it cleaned before we move back from Texas.  He stated that he was also having flooring done in the home and then he asked if he could include the fee for the flooring job with the check he would give me.  I stated that I did not know this business and I did not feel comfortable.  He sent a check in the amount of $3000.00 he was getting antsy, and he was persistent about me cashing the check.  So I went to the bank and I asked them if this check was fraudulent but it would take three days in order for them to find out.  So, the check was cashed and then he gets antsy, and he wanted me to send the money back.  He was harassing me with me wanting to return the money back. I eventually contacted the police and I was informed to reach out to the FBI.

In the mail received a post card. On the front of the post card it lists my name mailing address and "IMPORTANT-NOTICE-DO NOT DISCARD" On the otherside says "IT IS TIME FOR YOUR AIR CONDITIONER TUNE-UP

& INSPECTION "

The paragraph states that its time for your tune up according to the records.

This is not good eldery people may believe that they have to do this. They should just be offering a discount.

They sent a letter with only a record ID #A172CCO1698 with the same ruse that I needed to call them @ # 8884135452. Letter said final notice and they needed an immediate response for my home warranty. Also no company name or address. Just the phone number . I

didn't call them . I immediately started looking for information on them . I can't verity it's a scam but common sense tells me it is . They also sent a registration fee voucher in the amount of $ 199.00 in check form but stating this is not a check written under it .

Scammer contacts you through social media . In my case I posted on Facebook looking for a contractor and he replied. He used a fake website, pictures and reference. He used a FAKE invoice from a local hardware store to make it look like he paid for materials . The scammer was arrested by police and has been charged with 12 counts of fraud.

We hired **** **** ***** ******** as a contractor to finish our basement project.

He adviced that we obtain the Home depot loan card to purchase needed material for our project.

We obtained the card and he asked for card details to buy needed materials. Everything proceeded as planned until he made several unauthorized transactions on our card. $1252.24 on Oct 4 and $9802.83 on November 9.

**** acknowledged the error and promised to pay back in 2-3 business days. **** paid back 1252.24 and $4802.83 from the unauthorized transaction and has since refused to pay the balance of $5,000 he made fraudulently on our card.

He is not responding to calls or messages and has abandoned the project work we gave him.

He and his workers used our home depot card negligently by purchasing drinks, refreshments and tools on our loan card.

He forged our signature and created a fake account to transact with the city on our permit application. We hired him as a contractor to apply for permit etc using his company. Rather he chose to forge our signature and create a fake account. He even went further to advice us to break the exterior wall without permit from the city. This would have led to serious consequence since our name was on file as applicant rather than his business.

Also we paid him $4,765.25 for electrical materials and he has not accounted for the expenses or the materials. He also has materials he purchased on our homedepot card in his possession.

All of this has resulted in a lot of pain and suffering and we'll be taking this to court.
