I called Patrick Carpenter from a listing on Craigs List Dallas. I needed some electrical work done. He is very good at what he does, which is: Scamming, Ripping you off, Lying, Cheating, Robbing. He came in my home, gave me an estimate, then asked for up-front money, which he said he needed to buy equipment and supplies. I normally would have never agreed to this, but I had extenuating circumstances. I gave him a check for $200, which he promptly cashed, and he NEVER came back.
I have phoned him multiple times, he answered a couple of times, always giving me some type of vague response: yeah, ok let's see what I can do. Most of the time all I got was his voice mail. Right now it is 26 hours since he was here, and no sign of him. It was pure, unadulerated ROBBERY. I have learned that he did the exact same thing to a mutual friend who lives in Duncanville. I have filed a report with the Dallas Police Dept. Forgery Division, and I have his license plate number.
