Stay AWAY from Ray Deluca. Or you will learn the hard way.
He never paid me thousands of dollars in wages as well as other employees. I personally know 3 other people he has scammed and ripped off. 1 employee that was not paid (thousands) and 2 start up business owners he stole 9K worth of adwords advertising dollars that he kept instead of using. I also personally know that he does not pay his rent, he gets into places and doesn't pay landlord becuase he has a "better lawyer". He burns everyone he comes into contact with.
Beyond my own experience with him, you can read the other reviews on here and theyt are the same consistent story; multiple accounts of other misfortunate people that have interacted with him and he ran with the money.
Ray is very friendly and personable, he builds trust and lies a ton so he can later get away with ripping you off. Then to cover his tracks he constantly changes addresses and cell phones. He had a security camera from his office that shows approaching poeple that I thought at the time was just for fun but its for poeple that are after him. There are a lot of poeple looking for him.
He is from South Windsor, Connecticut but has lived in San Diego for years. He is 6' 5" and weighs around 350lb, bald head, goatee facial hair. I have no knowlege of him doing legitimate business. His wifes name is caitlin cancel and works for "Miramar Collision Center" or "Fix Auto Miramar" fixauto.com that have several locations in SD.
Stay far way.
