Smooth talking con artist. Uses a false name slighty different from his own, so internet search reveals nothing. Changes company names so internet search shows nothing. Has employed references that give a glowing report and good endorsement. Put down a large down deposit and waited. Many promises that he would contact and get started with the job once he gets caught up with all the other work.
It was all a stall tactic, so that the check payment could not be stopped. Took the money and stopped all contact.
After a long wait and broken promises found his real name is Edward Mara Sr and has been defrauding people for years with a promise of installing a pool. Many pool manufacturers now no longer sell him their product. Very bad person and terrible reputation in the business.
Be warned and do not do business over the internet with this person. He already lost contractor license in Pennsylvania and has lost civil suits.

Had a mispelling in the scammers new internet trap. Do not want anyone else to fall into his scam, so added this correction to the file.
