It has been a month since Glenn has taken a $620 advance from me. I have been able to talk to him about 3-4 times during this time. He keeps making excuses for not getting the work done. In fact, most of my story matches word to word with J_tudeski's. The same excuse - "work is almost done here, you are next in line, give me a day or two"; "the soil is wet, need to let the ground dry"; "the stones are not in yet". I am pretty sure his next excuse is going to be the back injury. As you rightly said, he does not answer his phone, does not return calls and rarely replies to emails. He is now operating under the new name Houston Custom Patios. I think he is targetting all new construction areas where people don't know many contractors. He puts his flyers out and people get sucked right into the trap. I am going to let my entire community know about this guy and make sure nobody ever calls him for business. I wish I had read this report before. I only trusted him because he showed me pictures of my neighbors patio and we really liked the work he had done. Now, who knows how much of that was true. My neighbor is out of town and I am not able to confirm if Glenn had actually worked on the patio. I will call the detective tomorrow and also I am going to drive down to the address today.....just to see if there is even a shop there. I searched on google and for that address it shows a strip mall - Fairbanks Plaza.

All those who were scammed by Glenn Klein need to contact the Harris County DA's office. Call (713) 755-7874 and speak to Mr. Andy Lui, a detective for the consumer fraud division.

I have experienced the same issue with this company. I paid Glenn $650 dollars back in Nov and he has only come over one time. Basically everything in this report matches my experience. Glenn has now changed his phone number and I fear that my money will never be refunded. In addition to this I have spent countless hours trying to track Glenn down and/or trick him into meeting with me. Please do not deal with this guy.

This guy claims to have some "equipment" to sell in order to pay me (and likely 10 other folks in this town) back. First it was "I have another project that's delaying the start of work," then he had an injury, then he was in the hospital but somehow managed to quote my coworker's job that same day, then it was "I'm going through bankruptcy, my house is in forclosure," then it was "I have a job now and can pay you some money next week" and then "I miscalculated my immediate bills." He does not return calls, does not answer his phone, and once when his boy friend "Bill" picked up, I got hung up on. Beware! This guy is a liar and a thief.
