Description
Facebook webpage https://www.facebook.com/patrick.jones.750917/about_details is a fake page with a Caucasian shown to be Patrick Jones. Patrick Jones is actually an older Black man who shows up as sent by Patrick Jones. He is ready to start the job with a few 2x4 boards (about $25 worth) and some scrap plastic. He nails stakes in the ground and attaches the 2x4 boards to the stakes. Most of which do not even touch the ground. Lays down the used plastic, which is not enough to cover the area that is to be concreted. He says that he will provide more plastic and the wire when the concrete arrives. At this point, he collects half the labor money for the job. In this case, it was $980. He was to have the concrete delivered the next morning. Once he collects the money, he cannot get the concrete delivered. He stall until he eventually tells you that he will not return. He never returns.
