I contacted them in 2005 and agreed to purchase a 1200 sq. Ft. Steel frame home. There was a lot of communication back and forth. I sent them $9000 as a down payment and then rarely heard from them after that. Until they stopped responding to me entirely. Pretty soon it was clear that they were going out of business and weren't going to give me a refund of my money, which to us, constituted a huge chunk of our savings! I did contact a few lawyers that all said that it would be very difficult to prosecute this issue across state lines (I'm in California). They wanted huge retainers, said they MIGHT be able to get a money judgement, but then to actually get the money back from Tri-Steel would be an entirely different feat. I was then contacted by the Denton Police Department investigating fraud. Nothing came of it. When I checked on it, they said it had been handed over to the FBI. When I checked on it again a couple years later, it was still pending with no progress. I know other people have dealt with Tri-Steel problems. Is anyone going to get their money back? If so, please help me! Thanks, Briana.
