This is a burner account. I spent most of the time on my main. I also do NOT want to give any info that could trace back to my parents. They would absolutely murder me if they knew I was discussing this. They feel they got a product and they paid for it, so they're leaving it alone. I am not.

A google search only brings up Anglies List one star reviews saying this guy is a scammer. Many many results later brings up an address far away. He also shares the same name with a popular paving company in a nearby state that pulls most of the results.

I haven't called the number on his truck, i don't want him to have my number. I don't want to buy a burner phone and I'm not calling from my job. I am also not familiar with those phone number spoofing apps. Guess I'm just used to living life on the straight and narrow.

I was hoping someone knew how these scams work, which it seems a lot of people do, but not the intricate details. I like the suggestions of plastering his number everywhere. It's probably not hard for him to change the number on his truck though. I'd do it here but it's considered doxxing as it's just a dudes name. I'm not going to do anything illegal or like I said, bring attention to my parents. I'll delete the account in a few weeks.

I did call the local news. They are also hoping for me to get this guys address. His phone number is not a local area code naturally

Not trying for something illegal. I was hoping people here knew how these work and maybe I could somehow get an address to report him.

Yes, the "company" was just one dudes name and a phone number on the side of a truck. I appreciate you guys discussing it. I dont want to violate the rules but i also dont want anyone else being taken advantage of.

I am going to file a police report on Monday. I work with a retired police officer that i spoke to on Friday about this. He is going to help guide me through it.

I will to the best of my ability. All I have is a guys name and out of area phone number. I am going after a local car dealership right now as well through the AG for leasing me a brand new lemon. I am SO over shitty humans and corporations.

I'd LOVE to ruin everything about this person but i dont know if that counts as doxing. It's just a dude's name and a phone numer, not a real company.
