Andrew Tuitavake (a.k.a Mountain Lumber) did not purchase materials for the construction project as promised and stole the customer's funds of $186,753. Salt Lake City Utah
Andrew Tuitavake posed as a contractor (using license # 11745700-5501) and took the Fisher’s money ($186,753) promising to buy materials. Andrew created a false impression that he was purchasing items for the Fisher’s construction project by sending texts, requesting funds via conversation, and false invoices of allegedly ordered materials from Mountain Lumber. However, no materials were delivered and a refund was never received by the Fishers.
An investigation by Utah DOPL (Department of Professional Licensing), concluded that Mountian Lumber is not a legitimage material supplier for construction projects. Instead, it is an account opened under Andrew Tuitavake's direction by his sister-in-law Losina Sekona. Losina gives Andrew signed blank checks and Andrew spends the funds according to his discretion.
