I had the misfortune of dealing with Dean Macias when I was seekingquotes for services for my home. At first, he told me he would costover $10,000, so I decided to look elsewhere. Suddenly, he was able todrastically bring his prices down to closer to $2000 for the same work! So, how much was he over charging to begin with? I thought that was a little sketchy.
All he did was e-mail me a price quote and draw a picture (maybe - henever sent it me a picture, so I have no proof) of what the projectcould look like. Ultimately, I decided to go with something differentfor my home project. I gave him the professional courtesy of declininghis offer, instead of leaving him hanging. That's when things got really bizarre!
At odd hours of the morning, he sent me e-mails first begging me toreconsider with even more competitive pricing, then attacking mepersonally for not awarding him my business.
In addition to this temper tantrum about not getting the sale, healleged that my intentions were wrong and my behavior was "sinful" -just because I chose something else!
I again tried to respond professionally, and he further attempted to berate me. I decided to find out who this crazy person was, and I found posts from him trolling the internet looking for homosexual sex! I'm not judging, but how ironic that he'd accuse me of sin consideringthe promiscuous exploits he posts in public for the world to see. Whatkind of professional uses the same e-mail address for his business thathe uses to hook up with guys on the "large penis gallery"?? Checkout for yourself: http://www.furrysanctuary.net/index.php?

I have dealt with many contractors and consultants, in addition to thefact that I am self-employed, but I have never encountered someone sounprofessional! I am so grateful that I declined his offer because itgave me the chance to see his true, unprofessional, bizarre anddisrespectful colors! Good riddance!
Dean,
You're 42 years old, it is time to grow up.
