I met Jeff in July at Wet Wendys. He claimed he built high dollar kitchens in the states. He talked the talk and promised a fabulous kitchen. I gave him a sizable down payment to start (my fault right off the bat) and was very excited. Then more talk about how hard he was working, bla bla bla. In a nut shell, after having 7 weeks to complete, I started nagging and he said he quit. He would do no more and I had my monies worth. I got no kitchen and he received a sizable amount of money.
He also weasled sizable sums for medical bills from an injured arm from some very nice people who live here on the island.
There was another situation in which he claimed he was a property manager for 5 locations and also had started a dive business. Someone invested and became another innocent victim scammed out of money, for when they arrived, nothing was true. All lies and he took their money.
Now he sits and waits at Wet Wendys for bait. Tourists he can rope in and snag for anything from snorkeling adventures, discover scuba, diving, digging up turtle nests, trips around the island and anything else he thinks he can pull off for money.
Please be extremely leary of him. I do not want anyone else falling to his prey and loosing hard earned money. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but I am really sickened by the arrogance of this man. Now I can leave him for Karma and whatever the world has in store for him next. I have voiced my frustration and hope this helps others.
