    I hired **** German to upgrade Electrician what she done a lot of then disappeared for six weeks. I also bought six mini splits off of him then I said I only need five Ihave COPD. Im a widow and I have asthma. He disappeared through June in July with no Air Condition me and the people that was working in house near sweater to death. He told me originally youd have the job done in three months complete I hired him in April. Hes finally finishing up in February and the heaters are not working. He told me the heaters he sold me only work up to 70they only go to 70 or theyre going to defrost which was not part of the plan. He has messed up everything from light sockets toGFIs and waste it all my money demand it more money off me twice. Hes a complete scammer that I do believe is on drugs.

    This Man **** is a pathological liar. I was not in ******* for two or three or four weeks. He blamed everything that went on. He made a big story. He was in *********** for a week when I called him then he had jury. He told me for a week then his truck broke down. He told me he had my mini splits and I said can you please I paid them in advance I was in ***** it ********************, where my brother had open heart surgery I can show you the text where I kept saying I will call you when I get home. My brother almost died and he was still harassing me over money for permits and to put the deposit on these mini splits that he got a deal on from some guy that he knew I trusted him like a fool. Meanwhile, he bought him from ******. I wouldve never bought these from ****** and then when I said, where are they can you please hook them up he told me oh I didnt think you needed them right now. I mean hey it was only June I couldnt breathe with my COPD. I put them in someone elses house. Ill get you some new ones. All he does is lie I had to have another HVAC guy come out to the house and another electrician. He couldnt even fix five sockets that would not pass inspection. He is a scammer from the word goand a liar. He knew everything that was going on. He knew every light switch that need repaired he knew about the bathroom that was already a washer in a dryer back there he he knew the washer dryer was there and it worked because I sold it and he never even hooked up the electrical plug. He never even he forgot to hook up the electrical plug which I was out $500 on wires for the oven. He forgot to hook up the oven to the panel and then was like oh it mustve never worked. Of course it worked. I tried everything in the house. Hes a scammer and hes a very, very good liar.
