Complaint Review: Myrtle Beach Fence a/k/a A-1 Myrtle beach Fence - South Carolina

FYI

This company will rip you off, it is the same scam run by Scott Pruitt in Gastonia NC under the name Gastonia Landscaping (check out their reviews on here).  Before that time it was Dutch Handyman, American Handyman, Charlotte Custom Decks, and a variety of other companies Pruitt has used to rip people off. The current form is Myrtle Beach Fence aka A-1 Myrtle Beach Fence, Scott Pruitt runs it (you can see from the Google reviews he has put up on them which are obvious fakes).

6 complaints already from the Myrtle Beach BBB for taking money and not finishing the job (and this is what Gastonia Landscaping was sued for multiple times before Scott fled NC).
