Complaint Review: Cesar's Home Improvements

Cesars Home Improvement came to look at my bathroom for home improvement repairs in February 2016..We agreed upon a price and that it would only take 2-3 days to complete? He then asked for a deposit for materials and I gave him $500. After Cesar got my money he said he was ordering some paint? Then the paint comes in and it is wrong color? Then Cesar says he go to jail because he was driving and someone had cut his plate off so his trailer was inpounded? Then Cesar says he is in hospital, and can't come to do my job? Then Cesar gets out of hospital and have to go back again to hospital for sickness and stress test? Then esar says dad is really sick need more money to help with surgery for dad? Then Cesar dad passed away.This have been going on since February 2016! As of todayMay 2,2016 no Cesar have come to my house to do any work or to return my monies? He have also taken advantage of other family members. My family trusted him he claimed to be in work 13-14 years? He have gotten a total from my family $2,000. DO not trust this guy with no money down because you will never get your money or the work completed. He have good charasmatic aapproach with how skillfull he is and what he can do even have pictures to show? However, now I'm concerned if he is showing someone elses work and not his own? Excuse after excuse I just want to know if I can get my money back from this crook? It's unfortunate and unethical to treat people like he have done? I hope he not lying about the death of his dad and his daughter is now sick in the hospital? He have been lying since February and I just rather have my money and find someone else to help with my repairs?
