We hired Daniel Wilnau on Wed May 27, 2020 to extract water in a crawl space, bag the contents, & sanitize the area.  He wanted 2900.00 with 2k down.  This lowlife to win us over claimed he was a fellow Army Veteran but his story later about Ft. Bragg the next day made no sense.  There is no basic training there & he changed the subject.  This was on Thursday May 28, when he came to the Lincolnwood home for 20 minutes.  He soon claimed he had a priority job, but don't worry, he would be back the next day.  We never saw him again.  He even had the lying nerve to claim he was on his way for Friday May 29.  When I called him up from a different number he did not recognize, Conman Dan hung up the phone.

 U read his negative reviews on YELP, GOOGLE, Home Advisor, BBB, u will see 20% are the same, taking deposits for no work.  He steals anywhere from 1k to 4k.  Small enough not to gain unwanted police attention, then lie & claims he did work.  We filed one with the Lincolnwood Police Department.   Too small to investigate, take it to Small Claims Court!  He claims to be an IL Corp on BBB but is not registered with the IL Secretary of State.  Does not carry up to date or any type of insurance according to another BBB complaint.

He also has been removed from Angie's List.  Volatile personality, & anger management problems directed at women in various reviews.

We hired him from Home Advisor.  He tries to bury his negative reviews with glowing 5 Star Reviews, & hopes u don't notice his ripoffs in earlier reports.  Why?  I don't know but he seems to get a thrill at ripping off people & getting away with it.  I would not be surprised if there is some psychological problem!  Has been doing this for years!

In any case, he & his family that covers up for him are habitual liars.  He can call me a liar & a former employee all he wants.  Read his reviews.

He has several addresses to hide from creditors.  Why?  Try to sue him.   This one was from Home Advisor.  If they want to let Conman Dan ripoff people, they have been warned!

23-4601 Park Ridge Police Report

AUTHOR: Lawrence - (United States)

POSTED: Wednesday, March 15, 2023

 Conman Daniel Wilnau foolishly called me again on 2/16/23. He wanted to discuss my negative reports. I made it clear, no discussion of anything till my brother recd the 2k refund Conman Dan stole. Nothing was resolved. Once again, I filed a Park Ridge Police Report. I'm happy to announce that local law enforcement is still concerned that Conman Dan solicits business to enter people's homes, & is carefully watched since the Highland Park Tragedy. Read all these reports carefully, & like local law enforcement recommends, stay away from Conman Daniel Wilnau, Global Restoration Services, & beware of his enabler, Ray.

Daniel Wilnau & Global Restoration Services out of Home Advisor Network

AUTHOR: Lawrence - (United States)

POSTED: Friday, December 09, 2022

 It took over two years of writing ✍️ letters since May 27, 2020, but Conman Daniel Wilnau has now been removed from Home Advisors. Clearly says, " This Professional Is Out Of Network." Conman Dan knew about my writing letters, as he would lie about them, & u would figure he would clean up his act, but once a Conman, always a Conman. It was funny when he claimed he never did any work for us, but we clearly showed the check he cashed for no work, & his lying texts that he was on his way to finish the job we hired him for. The saddest part is that Home Advisor was always on his side, & would point out to me all his happy customers. Well, the complaints began to pile up, Conman Dan could no longer hide from the customers he conned, & he was unceremoniously thrown out of the Home Advisor Network. Please read this carefully, & stay away from Conman Daniel Wilnau, Global Restoration Services, & his enabler Ray. He threatened to hurt me three times on 11/29/21.

Conman Dan losses his only positive review

AUTHOR: Lawrence - (United States)

POSTED: Sunday, September 11, 2022

 I contacted the only Chicago West Suburban Real Estate Firm that gave Conman Daniel Wilnau a positive review in 2022. They read the two police reports filed against Conman Daniel Wilnau by customers in Grayslake, dated 1/27/21, # 21-1920 & Park Ridge, dated 11/29/21, # 21-24325, & rescinded their positive remarks. They don't want to be held responsible as local law enforcement has indicated that Conman Daniel Wilnau has gone from cheap thief to a potential dangerous person by soliciting business to enter people's home, since the Highland Park Tragedy. Stay away from this volatile person. U don't want to get hurt or worse, & be going to the police department when he decides to steal from u.

Highland Park Tragedy & Daniel Wilnau

AUTHOR: Lawrence - (United States)

POSTED: Sunday, September 11, 2022

 Multiple police departments have told me they are keeping a closer look at Daniel Wilnau & his Global Restoration Services since the Highland Park IL Tragedy on 7/4/22 that left seven dead, & many more wounded.

Conman Dan solicits business to enter people's homes, & they are watching him more closely. Conman Dan has went from minor con jobs 1-5k, to a potential dangerous person for threatening customers in Grayslake & Park Ridge. He threatened to harm me with three phone calls on 11/29/21.

Therefore, I would highly recommend for your own safety to stay away from anything to do with Conman Daniel Wilnau & Global Restoration Services. Beware of his enabler Ray who acts as a shill for him.

Don't Get Hurt or Killed by this Dangerous Person

AUTHOR: Lawrence - (United States)

POSTED: Tuesday, May 31, 2022

 Conman Daniel Wilnau is probably an unstable individual who likes to call people & threaten them. Liz took him to Home Advisor Arbitration thanks to me & won in 2021. See Grayslake Police Report 21-1920. After he paid her, he decided to be threatening.

He called me up three times on 11/29/21, threatening to harm me, see Park Ridge Police Report 21-24325. Plus he is being monitored by the IL State Police for firearm possession. The IL Attorney General filed a Watch Report on Conman Daniel Wilnau for threatening me, a disabled veteran, 2021-CONSC-00140254.

This all started on 5/27/20 when my trusting brother wrote a 2k check to Conman Dan Wilnau. He never showed up to remove water in the crawlspace, & even texted he was on his way. He later lied to the BBB, & said we still owed him 900.00, but he refuses to sue us as we would show an impartial judge what a lying SOB he really is.

Don't get hurt or killed by this man. Don't let him in your house.

More Police Reports on Conman Daniel Wilnau

AUTHOR: Lawrence - (United States)

POSTED: Saturday, December 18, 2021

 Read my newest Ripoff Report on Daniel Wilnau. Conman Dan decided to foolishly call me three times & texted me once, threatening me on 11/29/21 for my negative reviews that have been filed against him & his enabler Ray. We originally hired Dan on May 27, 2020 to extract water in a crawl space. He wanted 2k upfront to rent a Dumpster. This lying SOB showed up briefly with Ray on May 28, & claimed he had an emergency. This lying piece of mold claimed he would be back the next day with the Dumpster & cleaning crew. Never saw him again.

Now he has lost thousands in business from reviews & over two dozen people have thanked me for not hiring Conman Dan. I'm not the only person he has threatened this year 2021. We hired Conman Dan to help us, not to hurt us or worse. It takes alot of nerve to call  up a customer, threaten him, & claim he has witnesses that will agree with anything they say. He has had several police reports for anger & threatening issues.

Home Advisor & Angie's List have now kicked him off their list of Contractors & Vendors, but u would not know that as his reviews remain on Home Advisor. Home Advisor claims they screen Contractors & Vendors. Does someone have to get hurt until Home Advisor realizes there is a problem? Would u want this guy in your house?
