Complaint Review: JONATHAN ASHER - LARGO Florida

I POSTED A COMPLAINT AD AGAINST ANOTHER MAN ( JIM RICHARDSON GLASSMASTER LLC)

I WAS CONTACTED BY JONATHAN ASHER OFF MY AD, HE WAS SYMPATHETIC THAT MY HUSBAND ( A MARINE) AND I HAD BEEN TAKEN FOR CLOSE TO $900 AND OFFERED TO COME OUT AND LOOK AT OUR BOAT TO SEE IF HE COULD HELP.

LONG STORY SHORT, THIS GUY TALKS A GREAT GAME AND WE GAVE HIM A 200$ DEPOSIT TO FIX OUT BOAT ( QUOTED ME $1400 TOTAL)

THE NEXT DAY HE CAME WITH ANOTHER GUY AND BEGAN TEARING OUT ALL THE OLD WORK THE FIRST POS PUT IN ( HE SAID IT WAS ALL DONE INCORRECTLY)

HE TORE OUT THE STRINGERS AND NOTHING MORE, HE TOLD MY HUSBAND HE NEEDED AN ADDITIONAL $200.00 DEPOSIT AND MY HUSBAND PAID.

BY THIS TIME I HAD ALREADY BEGAN TO RESEARCH JON ASHER, JUST GOOGLE HIS NAME WITH SOME KEY WORDS LIKE " FLORIDA ARREST, RIPPOFF REPORT, BOAT"

THIS GUY IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, YOU CAN'T FIND ONE POSITIVE THING ABOUT HIM. JUST MULTIPLE ARREST, MUGSHOTS, AND PEOPLE HE HAS RIPPED OFF! HE IS A HABITUAL OFFENDER WITH DRIVING ON A REVOKED/ CANCELED LICENSE! SO EVERY TIME YOU SEE HIM DRIVING, HE IS BREAKING THE LAW.

I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY HUSBAND, BUT HE HAD ALREADY WROTE HIM THE SECOND CHECK. I LOOKED AT MY BANK ACCOUNT AND THE FIRST $200 CHECK HAD BE CASHED ALREADY. I LOOKED AT THE IMAGE AND HE HAD CASHED IT AT AMSCOT (GO FIGURE)

I ATTEMPTED TO CANCEL THE SECOND CHECK BUT MY BANK DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME AND IT WENT THROUGH ( HE MUST HAVE SPRINTED TO AMSCOT TO CASH THOSE CHECKS!)

MY HUSBAND HAS A KIND HEART, HE TOLD ME TO CALM DOWN AND LET'S SEE IF JON DOES THE WORK. IN HIS EYES EVERYONE DESERVES A SHOT. HE HOPED IN HIS HEART THAT THIS GUY TRULY INTENDED TO HELP US OUT. WE WAITED THROUGH THREE DAYS OF PROMISES AND NO RETURN. JON PROMISED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO START THE WORK, BUT HE ALWAYS HAD A REASON HE COULDN'T COME, OR SOMETIMES HE NEVER CALLED TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF AT ALL.

ON THE 4TH DAY I CALLED JON AND TOLD HIM WE WERE UNHAPPY. HE KNEW WHAT WE HAD BEEN THROUGH WITH THE FIRST GUY AND HE WAS ACTING THE SAME WAY. I TOLD HIM WE JUST WANTED OUR DEPOSIT BACK($400.00) I TOLD HIM TO KEEP $200 FOR THE WORK HE HAD DONE( 1 HOUR OF PULLING OUT 3 STRINGERS). FROM READING ALL THE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCES PEOPLE HAD WITH JON ASHER I KNEW THE EVEN IF HE DID INTEND TO EVENTUALLY DO THE WORK IT WOULD NOT BE DONE CORRECTLY. JON ASHER IS 0% QUALIFIED TO DO FIBERGLASS WORK.

JON REFUSED TO RETURN EVEN A PORTION OF OUR MONEY.

HE SAID HE WOULD GET WITH US THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND HE NEVER CALLED. FINALLY I SENT HIM A TEXT TELLING HIM I KNEW ALL ABOUT HIM AND HE TEXTED BACK HIS ATTORNEY WAS GOING TO CALL ME AND HE WOULD SEE ME IN COURT? I GUESS HE DID'T LIKE ME WARNING EVERYONE ABOUT HIM.

BEST PART IS THAT WHEN JON ORIGINALLY CAME OUT TO OUR BOAT HE PROMISED TO WRITE UP A PROPER SURVEY AND GIVE AN ESTIMATE OF ALL THE HORRIBLE WORK THE FIRST GUY DID FOR WHEN WE TAKE HIM ( JIM RICHARDSON GLASSMASTER LLC) #1 TO COURT.....ANYTHING JONATHAN ASHER WOULD WRITE UP AND GIVE US TO TAKE TO COURT WOULD NOT BE CREDIBLE. THE JUDGE WOULD PROBABLY LAUGH US OUT OF COURT.

REMEMBER, JON CALLED US. HE IS A PREDATOR. HE HAS MULTIPLE ARRESTS, COMPLAINTS AND CANCELED BUSINESSES. LOOK HIM UP.

IT IS MY FAULT FOR GIVING HIM MONEY PRIOR TO CHECKING HIM OUT THOROUGHLY, BUT ALL I CAN DO NOW IS MAKE SURE EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS.

THERE IS ANOTHER MAN POSTING ABOUT JON AND HIS NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE ON CRAIGSLIST TOO. I WISH I HAD SPOKE TO HIM BEFORE ALL THIS.
