It's good to know I'm not "crazy", as Carl Pileggi has commented about my character to another company I was doing business with. JJ, I feel your pain. I too was a victim of the "lame emails" and "take the money and run" routine. I have not heard nor recieved my money back from Carl Pileggi either. I've been waiting since June...so I hope you have better luck! I hope you kept all your emails, the contract, and a copy of the cashed check. What I can suggest to you is make copies of all this information and send a complaint report the NC Attorney General and BBB. I have done that and although he has not responded to any of them, at least they have files of more than one complaint of this man, and MAYBE then they can take some kind of action. I recently reported him to the NC Licensing Board of General Contractors and found out he is NOT a licensed contractor, even though he claims he is. They explained to me that in the state of NC, any monkey contractor can practice without a license as long as the charge is under $30,000that's scary stuff. Because Carl Pileggi is NOT licensed, there is nothing the board can do about it. So for now, Carl Pileggi is out there, free to fool people, take their hefty "for materials only downpayment" ... and sadly getting away with it. So like you said....CONSUMERS BEWARE!!! Good luck to you.
