| Last time I heard he was trying to start a new scam venture in Dubai where he and his family fled. His brother had a gofundme going for awhile. His wife bailed on the credit card fraud case while her husband bailed on his case with the oag of Maryland. So yeah quite an upstanding family no? |

| Looks like Gzanne has moved in with Raouf or at least her latest court case has her address as her father in law. |

| Are you for sure they are gone? Gzanne has a court case I believe on the 2nd of march and her address shows the address of her father in law. |

I feel like I'm reading a fan board for a soap opera I haven't watched. |

Has this forum fizzled out as a source for the scammer Omar’s status?
Where’s a decent place to update myself? |

| How does someone even identify if they are hiring a legit contractor or not? There's so much turnover in the contractor world. |

+1 I think the he scam artist had really good reviews. Doubt they were all fake. Some contractors have very few reviews or don't even care about reviews. My tile guy and painter are awesome. They've been in business for 30 years. One has no online presence and the other has 5 reviews. |

Do not even look at google other than to eliminate anyone with a bunch of 5 star reviews from people that have only done one review. My new rules: if they drive a nice car or truck that is clean and wrapped with their company logo - pass. Go with the contractor driving a plain white van with dents. If they have a fancy web site - pass. If the contractor only has photos on his phone - then they are probably legit. You must talk to other customers and make sure the customers you are speaking with have no relationship to the contractor. Check the MD, DC, and VA court sites (do this early to save yourself time). So many people have entered into contracts with contractors that already have multiple pending lawsuits. Check to see how many web sites they have - have seen contractors with multiple websites all with slightly different names - sure sign of a scam. Watch out for contractors using multiple names. I know this is hard, but there are contractors that change their names to avoid being searched. Then, get a performance bond so that you will be whole if they turn out to be a scammer. All my perspective and opinion of course. |
