Jason Holt - Handyman Services Used Church Bulletin to Advertise his SCAM business!! Columbus Georgia

In May 2013 we were referrred to a church flyer that adverstise lawn services.  We met with Jason Holt at our rental property and he provided an estimate.  He agreed to meet back with us in a few days to receive a deposit to purchase supplies and said he would provide a receipt.  Well, he had a story as to why he couldn't give us the receipt but said when we stop by he would have it.  After repeated attempts to call him it was apparent that he took our money and ran.  

Jason Holt and his wife, Nellie Holt, continued to adverstise on Craigslist for handyman services and other things such as sewing and babysitting.  They moved twice in Georgia and we eventually tracked him down in Alabama.  We filed a police report and he was arrested almost one year later for "Theft of services."  He went to court and we waited to hear what happened.  

Apparently he skipped town - AGAIN.  We found out he was arrested around the time we paid him a deposit for driving on a suspended license and switching license plates.  He was also previously arrested in Washington state for child abuse.  Recently, we have found out that he moved to Louisiana and was arrested for child sexual abuse.  

Now his wife is on Gofundme asking for $$ because she is homeless and their kids are in foster care.  I do not know how involved she was in his scams.  I did find another post on here about Jason Holt scamming people in Louisianna.  

We never got our $$ back from him and from what I have read, we never will.
