Complaint Review: TRUSTED DEVELOPMENT GROUP

 CHANNEL 9 Investigative Reporter Todd Ulrich did a piece on our shady scam construction company. tonight

 He exposed not only Chris's arrest for home improvement fraud, but also the history of scams he's run in the industry at other companies. In addition, he's well aware of the fake reviews and pics they used to FRAUDULENTLY induce you to sign with them.Not to mention all the lies the salespeople told you about how quick your job would be finished and your money was safe,

The Other partners Sam Hancock and George Hammond are as guilty as the Crafts ..Sam and George do the lying also and George Hammond the shady contactor ,lends his licence to the Crafts for a fee,so they can use it to lure victims .The Crafts can't get a construction license because of their background ,so George sells his to the Crafts for a fee

New address 945 South Orange Blossom Trail, APOPKA, FL. I have heard from so many of you and about the heartbreaking stories and the intimidation perpetrated by scam artists Sam ,Allison and Chris Craft, but I have some good news for us! Fortunately the Florida law contemplated scam artists like these .. There are protections in place for you to have your money returned and also makes it a crime if they do not return your money under the following Florida Legal Statutes which are at the bottom of this posting : * Florida law requires a contractor to apply for a permit within 30 days and start work within 90 days if he collects more than 10 percent of the contract up front. It is illegal and is a felony for a Construction Contractor to take a deposit of 10 % or greater and not apply for a permit within 30 days and they must begin construction within 90 Days .

For example if your project was $20,000 and if they took 1 penny more than a total of $2000 and didn't apply for your permit within 30 days and begin permitted construction within 90 days they had violated the law In the same example if they didn't have your permit in hand and begin construction within 90 days of signing the contract, then you can write them a letter, demanding your money back.All you need to do is write them a letter demanding your money back and if they don't refund you,they, have committed a felony ,This is exactly what Allison's husband Chris Craft was arrested for last year in Indiana He took the money and ran to Florida !!!! ,I They are asking you to meet with them ,You don't need to meet with them or take their calls, where they will just lie to you some more.
