Javier Munguia Landscape Scam Artist Mesa Arizona

There is new construrction on both sides of our home. Javier knocked on our door and asked if we were in need of some paver work for our side walk to our back gate. He informed me that he was contracted to do all the concrete work for Mattamy homes in my neighborhood and had pavers that would match mine exactly since he did all the work in the neighborhood. He originally wanted $1000 to do the work. I asked him for a business card so I could think about it. He seemed very professional and knowledgeable about the process and explained everything he would do. He then lowered his price to $600. He told me he would be back shortly with an estimate and contract. He came back with an itemized statement and asked for $350 deposit. This was on July 5, 2016.

He said he would be back Thursday to complete the work. He then text me Thursday and said he would be back Saturday. I repeatidly text him and attempted to call him. He made a few more excuses. I finally called him on July 29, 2016 from a different phone than I usually use. He answered and tried to tell me that my work was done. I told him it certainly was not. He said he would call his guy and call me back to "trust him." He text me back and said he would be there himself on Sunday to complete the work and because of the mistake he was not charging me any additional money. He has since blocked all phone numbers that I have called him from.

I called him from yet another phone and he denied even being Javier and hung up on me. If you google search him, he has a long history of scams and even mug shots. I will report this to my builder so they know he is going to their building sites misrepresenting himself and file a police report. I willl also report this to my HOA so they can make a post on their website to warn others of his actions.
