    100% agree. If you wont share information of the company the next person who can't afford to lose 30K even 10K for a fence install might have a harder time to recoup losses. These companies need to be outed so the public knows to avoid them.

Prepaid for 5 sessions for tattoo removal, got two done with A TON of appointment problems(they already had their money) 2 months later they “close business”. And I have a ton more. These were the last two. NEVER EVER PAY a deposit without putting it in a credit card. Even if you have to lose the cc processing fee, at least it’s insurance if they never follow through.

    Super sorry to hear about the fence. Some contractors suck. I understand not wanting to mess with someone’s livelihood, but if their livelihood is ripping off customers and taking their money then I would argue that it’s hurting those in your community to not notify as many as possible of a fence contractor by the name of David that steals money. At the very least you should report him to Utah DOPL so they can investigate and revoke his license (if you haven’t done so already). I own and run a demolition company in Utah my self and it always hurts to hear people getting ripped off.

    You should definitely give out his name and company name. That way this doesn’t happen to anyone else. To you it’s not a lot of money but to the average person it’s a huge deal. Never protect scammers and con artists .

    Remodeling contractor here, for first time customers who we‘re working with, WITHOUT a general contractor, we usually ask for a 50% payment to assure that we won’t be left holding the bag after purchasing materials. Of course they’re all paid to the business account, and we provide receipts after purchase to show proof that we’re doing our job, we also sign a contract.

    Had a similar situation with a “reputable” collision shop. Had a minor accident and they fixed my car but they damaged one of their replacement parts while installing it. I took the car back and they order another part and I hear nothing for 3 weeks. I went back and they had no idea what I was talking about and tried to lie and say that I never brought the car back. They ordered another mirror and it came in but they still had to paint it, they said it would be painted that Friday after I was there. I went back in on Monday and they still haven’t painted it. It had taken now over a month to deal with something that shouldn’t have even taken a week.

    I had someone steal from my family aswell, we just moved into a house and the whole house has this nasty carpet so we hired this guy named James to come rip the carpet up and put new stuff in and he said that we need to pay him half first so we did and then when it came to the day he requested that well all just left the house so he could rip it up easier so my family grabbed all our things and went to a hotel for the day and then about 6 pm that night me and my dad went back to check on him, he was nowhere to be found. He ripped up about half the houses carpet and just ran away, we then dug deeper he apparently had done it to do many people, James was arrested later this year and is in jail slowly paying back everyone that he robbed from. So this just goes make sure you look at everything about the people you hire, stay safe

    This is for anyone hiring any contractor for any type of work. Sign a contract with scope of work and milestone deadlines. It might seem like a hassle but it will be there to protect you as the homeowner in these sort of cases. You can then sue for breach of contract and get your money back.

    This makes my blood boil inside. Had the same happening to me back in 2020 but way worse. We started some rebuilding during the pandemic and we made every payment we had agreed, but the contractor walked away feb/march 21 and to this day I would be homeless if not by my parents house. And now I´m back there at the age of 53 with wife, kid and two cats. My house has no electricity, no water, no doors, no windows, the roof is in pretty bad shape and that SOB has all my money and with all that happened since then I had to make improvements at my parents house and do not have any more money to finish "the titanic". Well, c’est la vie right ? Good luck with your SOB.
