Extreme Landscaping Creations / Ebershoff Landscaping Extreme Landscaping Creations Owner, John Moreno, Does Not Pay Employees - You Will Work For Free Fort Collins CO
John Moreno, the owner of Extreme Landscaping Creations, spent 22 years in prison where he obviously learned to lie, cheat and steal. When he hires someone, he requires a $100-250 "Uniform Deposit" that will be refunded back to the employee within 8 weeks of employment (well, this is what he tells them). He never actually orders the uniforms, this is how he gets his cash flow for beer, cocaine and who knows what else. In the few weeks I worked there, he took over $6000 from new hires for their uniforms. He went so far as to have Cintas come in and measure all employees for their uniforms to make them think they would actually be receiving them, but had no intention to follow through.
Employees are told they will be paid every Friday. If an employee questions John about their check or the refund for their uniform deposit, they get fired so John doesn't have to pay them. On payday, John will tell you the checks didn't come, but they should be here tomorrow. Then everday after that you will be told the same thing. After several weeks of being told I would receive my check "tomorrow" I finally had to quit.
There are over 30 past employees that are still waiting to get paid. The police have been called countless times regarding the money he is taking from employees and the money owed to them for working. The authorities cannot do anything and lawyers have been contacted and law suits filed.
John has also hired sub contractors to do work that doesn't exist. Cleaning apartments, concrete and landscaping. He makes them pay him $600 for their liability insurance - which he cannot provide. Again, another scam to get cash flow.
Not only does he rip off his employees, he rips of his customers. He hires inexperienced young men that have very little experience. He has been sued several times for the horrible landscaping and concrete work done for customers. BBB reports have been filed and he has a F rating for his company.
Stay away from this company and this poor excuse of a human being if you are looking for a job or if you are looking to have any work done on your property.
