was a victim of them last May. I am a first time home buyer with little cash, looking to do small improvement to my home. Steve's smooth talking charm leeward me into hiring him. During his time at my house, I bought them breakfast and lunch, never once spoke of concern or disrespected him. Come to find out, all the tile that he installed ($1000 dollars worth) needs to be ripped up because the floors are shifting (he did not install backerboard) causing all the tile and grout to crack, which I can't afford to replace. He also ran off with 400 dollars of my money that he never worked for. After not showing up on the job for nearly 2 weeks, and not retuning my phone calls, I had to track him down through his landlord. He mentioned that his kid was in the Hospital and some guy from Florida was threatening his life so he couldn't leave his home. He also mentioned to me he was going to send a check for the 400, but never did. I know they were in the Colorado Springs area and ran out on there landlord in July. The landlord mentioned to me that he found phone records where he was talking to a church up in Canada. There also might be a possibility they went to Grand Junction, where a friend of Steve's son went to work after shortly living with them in Colorado Springs. I do believe that they are decent people with completely lost souls. I hope this will never happen to anyone else because this caused great hardship in my family because of the money we had to save to get this work done, and then come to fine out, we can't afford to get it fixed and they ran off with, in our mind, a considerable amount of our money.

I honestly do believe that Kristy and Matt Buchanan have done what they are accused of. I have known them for over 7 yrs and know the kind of people they are. If anyone is intersted, they have relocated back to either Utah or Colorado. They recently found out about this website and left her moms house in florida. They are known for using scams against restaurants, amusement parks and anyone gullible or afraid of a lawsuit. Social Services are also gullible and so is her mom. Kristy lies to her constantly and lets her think that these sites are bogus and that she really is leaving florida for jobs when in actuality its when people are close to finding her and Matt. Matt does owe lots of child support in Georgia. They are banned from receiving assistance there due to fraud. Kristy and Matt have also converted to the Mormom church-God forbid that they think of contraception, since Kristy is now pregant with another child (#6). So, if you live in either Utah or Colorado, beaware. Kristy and Matt are very dangerous. They can even con a church member. Be on the lookout for a woman with black/brown hair, 5 kids and deadbeat husband whose real name is STEVEN MATTHEW BUCHANAN. Matt as he is known used Kristy as a shield while she was pregnant against the SWAT team in Georgia. They use their kids name when they are claiming fraud against restaurants and amusement parks. The old food was bad, or I fall routine. I am not being malicious, its just that they seem to always getting away with this. They will remain in either Utah or Colorado for a few more months and like clockwork, they will return to her moms home to hide out.
