Contractor took my remodel funds and disappeared

A bbb report about a rental scam that cost someone $70000.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

The Construction Kings LLC proposed a contract for remodeling my patio decking and roof covering while I was getting lender financing approved. They obtained all the funds, then stopped communication 2-3 months later when the project was supposed to start. I went to their office location and the business is nowhere to be found. They have also scammed 22 other clients in just 6 months. They are now posing under a different name and continuing to scam more people.
