Shannon–We are so sorry. It sounds like you have been taken. By the worst kind of human. I hate to say this because you sound kind, but the best way to beat a bastard like that is to catch it early. A request for ‘gas money’ is a dead giveaway. Always ask for a license and proof of insurance up front. We are so sorry.
i have been in a dilemma for nearly a year. I’m handicapped on a fixed income. A contractor gave me a price to rebuild my shower, but he only tore out my tile. And claimed to have to pay for the disposal of my tile. Then he asked for some money. We had agreed I would purchase all supplies, and then pay him upon completion. But he asked for some gas money, and expenses to come out to the house.
He won’t answer my phone calls, has never came back, changed his number, and moved. I don’t know what to do.
Please advise.
