Awnings New York Henry Mike's Awning Steven Levy Jacob Levy Guy's a scammer - promised to install a fence, keeps pushing back week after week citing delays. Very responsive but all lies. Was supposed to install my fence in the middle of August 2016, It's the 9th of September and all I get is more excuses. First its, they're too busy and the installer hasn't had a chance and they couldn't install my fence, then it's they couldn't do it for another reason. They also required a 50% deposit so I lost out of $3K for the fence but good thing I gave some of it through PayPal so hopefully I can recoup some of it. Brooklyn New York

I entered a request through the website Thumbtack to look for a fence installer.  

This company  awningsnewyork.org came to my house for an estimate, performed measurements and everything looked legit.  I interviewed a few more contractors and they ended up being the cheapest so I had to come again to do the work.  

The second time "Henry" came over, he did some additional measurements then gave me a receipt and required a 50% deposit, which I gave him some in cash and some through paypal.

The sale date was 7/23/16 and the fence was supposed to be installed in 3 weeks.  When the 3rd week came and went, there was no fence delivered, and no fence installed.  He blamed it on me because I wanted a different fence, which I already told him about the day after the sale, so 7/24.  

So he pushed back the delivery/install to the following week, which again came and went with no fence.  This time he cited his installers couldn't finish the jobs in time - all while saying he wasn't that busy.....

So he pushed it back to the following week, with me saying ok if you don't get it installed I want my refund, which he said he understands and would get it done at the latest on 9/9 or 9/10.   So I contacted him again and lo and behold, of course my install was scheduled later so it got pushed back again.  

Seeing a pattern here?  So yes, this guy Henry from Brooklyn with an address that doesn't exist in Google Maps 2975 Avenue U, is a scammer.  #1-347-869-7645 OFFICE 10 AM-6 PM was suppposedly disconnected and his Thumbtack account was deleted because of customer complaint.  I wonder why??

So yes, his cell is 718-307-8619 and the email address I sent his paypal to was fashnb0590@ymail.com which apparently is tied to a store named Clear the rack consign.  

BEWARE OF FENCE CONTRACTORS!!  NOW I KNOW, NO MORE DEPOSITS OR DEPOSITS WITH A CREDIT CARD ONLY.
