When I was in the process of opening up my new office 3 months ago, the plan was installing 50 phone lines in my office, so I hired John Tichenor from Task Force Associates to install my phone systems, run the inside wires, jack installations, etc... He told me it will cost $125 installation fee, and then an additional $65 per each additional. He told me that including the CAT5 Cables, wire runs, and the rj11 the total cost will amount to $6,000. He told me that I needed to make 2 payments, $3,000 upfront and $3,000 when the job is complete. I paid him the $3,000 which he asked for in cash, he assured me that work will begin the next day, and then he disappeared. This was 3 months ago! Since then he doesnt answer his phone, when I went to his office in person he denied knowing me, the cops said they couldnt do anything about it because it was a civil issue, and they said I got to take him to civil court. I did a bit of research on him, and I discovered that other people had complained that he done the same thing to them as well. I dont know much about phone line installations, and unfortunately, due to my lack of knowledge about it, I had a crook take advantage of me.
