Mr. Avalos (Torres) came to my home to make a proposal to build a glass sunroom as he had a friend in the business. He never did this kiind of work before, only concrete work. I trusted him. He asked for $2500 as a deposit, which I gave him and he immediately deposited via his cell phone. As conversations ensued, I realized he did not know anything important about the job except what his friend told him. His friend never showed up and I decided this deal looked fishy. After he argued with me about his being insured/bonded as he said he never did that before. I decided to tell him we should go our separate ways. He refused to give me my $2500 back. I offered to pay him for his gas usage to come up here to Georgetown from SA. He has cut me off from any further communication. I found out he served two years in prison for ripping off elderly people, and now I'm one of them.
