Van's Masonry

This young man is the first 'con' man I have ever dealt with in repairing my home. He cashed the check the same day, and that was it. He had three phone numbers, only one worked.. the others had been shut off. I called him more than fifteen times in seven weeks, not the 5-7 days I was promised, and still no bricks, no work performed. He kept telling me he would be there the next day to get started. I found out he had been evicted from his business address, his phones disconnected. I contacted Better Business Bureau with complaint, he did not respond to them. I am working with the Small Claims court at present. His criminal record extends back 14 years in this county, here is the link from court public records access http://www.mcleancountyil.gov/circuitclerk/PA_Court_Cases.asp?per_person_id=100112807, and there are more than 10 other people looking for Mr. Van. Under no circumstances should anyone ever give Mr. Van any money in advance. I had to hire someone else to do the work, so I could get my new roof completed shortly thereafter.

The project NEVER happened. The business owner, Mr. Derrick Van, took the money and ran.
