Put his info online. Help protect others from being scammed by this guy. You have shown us more than enough proof you’ve done everything you can before it came to this.
I could agree anymore. I get strad's consciousness though. He's too nice of a guy most of the time, honestly. But this is why we love him. ❤️
Go back to 12 minute videos of you and dave hooning around. These 40 minute videos isn't it.
Exactly. The next person he scams may not be able to eat a 30k loss as easily as Strad.
@@trcythmpsnwhat? You mean you don't like watching Mike explaining how to dry fit a fuel tank for 25 minutes? That aside the recent rally videos were fire 🔥
100% agree. If you wont share information of the company the next person who can't afford to lose 30K even 10K for a fence install might have a harder time to recoup losses. These companies need to be outed so the public knows to avoid them.
Contractor fraud is real. It should be addressed thru legal actions.
100%. Sue this guy. I bet he shows up to court, and if not you get even more satisfaction from the result.

David Kennedy: Kennedy Fence and Deck in Draper.
@@C0ACHMAYNElet’s run up the bad reviews
@@BayareaXoticsjust seen james review” The absolute worst experience I’ve ever had. I paid a 50% deposit in September 2022 to David’s wife Rayna Kennedy to have a fence and gate installed at my house. It’s been over a year now and I have half of a fence installed and no gate in sight. He’s avoided my text messages and my calls. I will be taking him and his wife to court. Definitely avoid David and his scam company at all costs possible.”
a shame that David Kennedy - Kennedy Fence + Deck (in Draper, UT) did that to you, Strad.
Just left a review😉, can’t wait to call this guy and waste his time LOL
Based on

He took his website down 😂
@@saladbarsusan3583😂No doubt😂 What a LOOSER☠️☠️😂😂😂
Wow Stradman your are genuinely a super nice guy I actually read those text messages and not one time did you even flip on so called David and you were even still genuinely happy when he did finally reach back out to you like seriously Stradman you are literally one of the nicest guys I know for someone who knew he was being taken advantage of and still being so super nice and generous to David still says alot .... I think I speak for everyone when I say you really are as nice as it gets stradman like wow im amazed to look at those text messages and see how u still respected David the entire time and never once had him feel less of a person or anything
Of course he was. He was going to earn the money back in a video lmao..... he's not a normal person so stop putting him in your position. These multimillionaire play a different game to the rest of us ffs.
As a fence contractor, it hurts to see this kind of stuff. It’s so easy to be communicative and honest. Wish I lived in Utah and could of helped!

it happens all the time over 35 years here........some of the story's customers tell me.
Thank god he’s leaving Utah
Dude, please name and shame this man. You say this isn’t a lot of money to you, but this is a very large amount to many and most people. I’m sure that you won’t be the only one, you will be doing nothing wrong by telling their name, if they don’t want to be shamed then they shouldn’t be shameful.
Edit: the fellow people of RUclips have found it
He doesn’t because you know that there will be tons of people accusing him of wanting to ruin businesses. Even though I think those businesses should burn to the ground lol. People will be like “first brogue now this, strad is making up stuff for content blah blah blah”
Strad can ruin his life bro, he’s showing mercy. Bc stealing 15k isn’t worth his entire life, when the guys probably struggling with addiction, or an emotional disorder, untreated.
Fr
Name and shame will only help other people. Do it Strad!
@davidwavidshmavider 15k not 30k. But still a lot of money.
I feel so bad for this man he’s been through so much
I know right? Multi Million dollar home and 10 mil+ in cars. So much.
@@SuperiorDefensehe came from the gutta 😢
Lol i dont usually comment, but i have been following him since he slept in Audi TT to take pictures of exotic cars to earn, you dont know what someone have been through, he worked hard for what he have got now, and he deserved it, so stop being envious and actually put the work in lol.@@SuperiorDefense
@@SuperiorDefenseyour just jealous he went through more struggles then you to get that much money he started out literally living in his car
@@SuperiorDefense Dude went from living in a half-working Audi TT on the streets of Beverly Hills and editing Monterey Car Week footage on his old MacBook in a McDonald's.

James is such a good dude. I hate when good people go through stuff like this..
It’s ok if it’s about the Money, Strad! You work hard for that money. You’re right. He’s wrong.
In this instance - I tend to agree. It would be interesting to hear David's side of the story.
@@RealRickCox his side of the story doesnt matter hes obviously just a scammer and lied week after week month after month

Sorry you're going through this James. I had learned this lesson too. Now I am more strict and hard when doing business. I'd rather apologize after the work is done, than be "nice" and lose out on your money later.
Good call. Better safe then sorry, especially with bigger jobs🙏🏻 god bless

Congratulations James, you definitely deserve this, keep working hard.
Same EXACT thing happened to me back in 2005. Guy kept asking for the balance even though he wasn’t close to being done and then my now ex wife paid him even though I said not to and he cashed the check at our bank that day and then lied and lied for months and it wasn’t worth the 3-4 grand to keep up anymore. Must be a ton of business to be had if people can do this and get away with it over and over! Lesson learned Strad! Happy holidays! ❤🎉
Man you really need people that you can trust... I feel bad bc it's always you and like you said... You're the nice guy

His age really shows sometimes. Wish he had some older people in his life he can trust for advice. Makes many poor choices
@@livinglife1089shut up
@@livinglife1089it has nothing to do with age. He’s simply slightly lacking in the common sense department
Nope, but you should take your own advice. Ignorant fool@@brqxton8974
Super sorry to hear about the fence. Some contractors suck. I understand not wanting to mess with someone’s livelihood, but if their livelihood is ripping off customers and taking their money then I would argue that it’s hurting those in your community to not notify as many as possible of a fence contractor by the name of David that steals money. At the very least you should report him to Utah DOPL so they can investigate and revoke his license (if you haven’t done so already). I own and run a demolition company in Utah my self and it always hurts to hear people getting ripped off.

7:00 Had a similar issue with a company for a deck... They get as much money as they can... prioritize "bigger jobs" and leave you in the dust. Hired a lawyer and had to go after them for services not rendered. It's sad that there are so many sketchy contractors out there. Super refreshing when you find someone who takes pride in their work and gets quality work done in a timely manner
Stradman is too nice of a person to deserve this

This guy is incredibly annoying
I think a few guys have seen the Stradman coming and overcharged on this house build..I appreciate seeing you're human caring and trusting.. I think showing even you can be scammed is a great teaching moment for everyone unfortunately
Stradman is the nicest person ever to not put his whole name or business or wife’s name out there he should have and he can never get a break of issues and bad people
Hey man. We’ve all been there. EVERY SINGLE TIME I’ve paid money before the service was done. I’ve always got robbed. Paid a contractor to build me a haltree and never got it made. Prepaid for 5 sessions for tattoo removal, got two done with A TON of appointment problems(they already had their money) 2 months later they “close business”. And I have a ton more. These were the last two. NEVER EVER PAY a deposit without putting it in a credit card. Even if you have to lose the cc processing fee, at least it’s insurance if they never follow through. Lesson learned. I’ll never pay a deposit unless with credit card ever again

You tube hiding replies again.
Titling the video ‘I WAS ROBBED’ and then being sponsored by simplisafe is so ironic
My best wishes to you strad. I hope you find what you are looking for in your new city!
Same story started for me in October last year as well. Gave him almost half upfront for materials and whatnot but it has been a struggle over here as well. I did the same thing and was nice because I did get a specific powder coated color and fencing and it was a lot of fencing if I am being honest. It’s been a hassle of people not showing up to over promising and under delivering consistently. Finally got all of the iron that was paid for at least in the past month, awaiting for them to install the double automatic doors.
Moral of the story as someone in contracting, most iron workers are like this
why do people deposit? if you didn't pay after work was done they could sue you. i know in my country you only pay when work is done bud usa might have another culture????
@@TheOg1223 it’s usually the same here, people only do it if they state that they need some money to pay for the material.
Noooo, you were robbed😭😭 The only thing that makes it better is that you posted, always amazing to see your videos.
That's ridiculous! James - you were ripped off. You shouldn't have to pay this much money for a fence and gate. I'm in Utah and definitely wouldn't want to do business with this contractor, let alone, know people who are considering doing business with him. I hope that what's left of the work is completed without further hustle.
Hard not to smile watching your videos. You are always positive even when explaining bad stuff. Just a happy dude.
I feel for you James. Been waiting a month for a septic guy to finish a system install after they didn't even hook up the main sewer line. Just had sewage dumping into the ground. People just can't do what's right. I don't know why you don't want to call people out. They didn't do what's right, and you should protect others from getting scammed.
Hope it's clickbate

Of course it is. It always is lol

Also, Arizona is a good place to live
The text from you to David saying "Dude I'm so sorry I forgot to reach out the last few days" just to bug him had me dying😂😂😂
30k for that bit of fence?! Holy heck 😮 I think that's where you were taken for a fool to begin with. Ouch man. Glad you found someone decent to do the gate though.
Sadly an aluminum fence with motorized gate, 30k isn’t bad
I always feel bad for Strad. His age shows when he makes such bad decisions. Wish he had a trustworthy adult to consult with
@@livinglife1089he's like mid thirty dude
@@livinglife1089 happens to people both young and old alike when they first start dealing with contractors.
Exactly my thoughts 😂
Strad, I’ve been a viewer and subscriber of your channel for four years. It is saddening to me that these unfortunate circumstances keep happening to you! It’s time to take some action because that’s a lot of money lost. People like this are not ok and should not be let go free for there actions only to do the same to someone else!!!
You live and you learn brother, got to watch your back always!!!! We love you strad
Professionalism to the T. You are a walking inspiration and it's sad to see someone try and scam you. If he would have had good integrity he could have had a life long customer!
I searched “David K fencing contractor Utah” and I found a company called “A Fence Utah” in Clearfield/Layton area. The reviews seem to match James’s experience and one even mentions a David by name. Hopefully you take legal action against them James.
Found the same but people are saying it’s Kennedy Fence and deck or something like that

How I remember the days when James was calm…. I can usually watch for a few minutes for the cars and then I can’t do it anymore.
Thank you for letting us know so we don't get scammed too. 😊 Sorry that happened, but at least you now finally have a gate!
Love you brother your videos motivate me to do better everyday and I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate you❤️🙏 have a blessed day

I own a fence company in Lubbock, Texas and those prices are insane 😮. Glad it’s getting sorted!
I really hope he’s not actually moving. Wanted to see big car meets or all his friends at the new house. But I support what you do bro. Keep going.
typical youtube tradition. Buy an expensive car or build an expensive house, it's the youtuber law to sell it not long after because they can't afford the car/afford the house
@@ChR0nos_7734his house is really big and custom
@@ChR0nos_7734 The house was a debacle from the beginning with poor design and way too big and expensive compared to everything else around it. Getting rid of that thing will be a nightmare.
you must put David's name and company out there so that the same thing doesn't happen to the next person who may not be able to recover like you'd recover from a major loss.
Kennedy Fence + Deck, LLC | pretty sure thats the guy but im not for sure
He gave enough info that anyone looking for the same product will know who it is and left out enough that hobbyist trolls won't destroy the guys life. At least not without a bunch of investigating.

gotta admit james youre being a generous person. i love how you are giving him so many chances and even when he ghosts you, you dont use your platform to go after him but rather prevent others from experiencing this also

@@ryanlemons3255 absolutely, and I agree. Though I still know plenty of people who have been screwed. It’s wild how much money people will hand over to a stranger, just because they have a business card and a van.
I know someone who hired a contractor to build his shop, put $45k (half) down for materials. The “contractor” did this to many people, he then fled to Mexico never to be heard from again. Only proof he had was a receipt. And texts but no one to go after. Just out $45k it’s a shame.
Sad to see you leave Utah even tho you might return. It was cool to have you in the same state. You will be missed Stradman hope and wish you the best in your next adventure(s)

Protecting this man’s identity and business is bat shit insane….
$30,000 is not a small amount of money
This is for anyone hiring any contractor for any type of work. Sign a contract with scope of work and milestone deadlines. It might seem like a hassle but it will be there to protect you as the homeowner in these sort of cases. You can then sue for breach of contract and get your money back.
Don't blame you, I'm leaving Utah and this f'ng cold & snow next year when I retire.
What the heck?! I’m so freaking confused dude. He builds that gorgeous, giant, perfect home and then moves away? I would say somethin happened financially.
yea im lost bro
I think he's just house-sitting at a friend's place maybe for the winter.
@@ICP1SBJ You have said that in a hundred comments. No one house sits houses in warm places in the winter. LOL. Why the hell would the owner of a house in a warm climate not be there in the winter?

Here in Utah the winters can be brutal. Makes it hard to do content, build cars, etcwhen its snows and its below 30 degrees F most of the time. Winters here destroy the cars. Not to mention the roads.
Too many people mistake kindness for weakness.
Stradman is one of the nicest person to ever exist. He knew he was being robbed/scammed and even wanted to give David an additional $7k. You cant make this up
Dude, it's not just you. I run a company out of Cincinnati, and I had a similar situation with a concrete contractor. Ended up costing me about $18,000 out of pocket after not only did he screw up the concrete, but also screwed up the brand new pool that didn't even have water in it that I had the repair. Live and learn!

Hey strad! 😁 Every year here in FL on thanksgiving weekend there is a car event held at the Daytona International speedway called the Turkey Run! People travel here for this event from all over! It would be so cool to see your cars there! (it's also a good place to sell cars if needed or just show them!) Anyway, heading over this weekend and just wanted to let you know about it for next year! It might help you get some cool content up!! ☺
Remodeling contractor here, for first time customers who we‘re working with, WITHOUT a general contractor, we usually ask for a 50% payment to assure that we won’t be left holding the bag after purchasing materials.
Of course they’re all paid to the business account, and we provide receipts after purchase to show proof that we’re doing our job, we also sign a contract.
David would have been rocking those new air cinderblocks at the local lake if this was me😂 no way I’m letting somebody steal $7500 for a failed gate set up and then try to scam you over the course of an entire year

Had a similar situation with a “reputable” collision shop. Had a minor accident and they fixed my car but they damaged one of their replacement parts while installing it. I took the car back and they order another part and I hear nothing for 3 weeks. I went back and they had no idea what I was talking about and tried to lie and say that I never brought the car back. They ordered another mirror and it came in but they still had to paint it, they said it would be painted that Friday after I was there. I went back in on Monday and they still haven’t painted it. It had taken now over a month to deal with something that shouldn’t have even taken a week.
Always a good day when Strad posts!
Love the vids strad keep them up
I had someone steal from my family aswell, we just moved into a house and the whole house has this nasty carpet so we hired this guy named James to come rip the carpet up and put new stuff in and he said that we need to pay him half first so we did and then when it came to the day he requested that well all just left the house so he could rip it up easier so my family grabbed all our things and went to a hotel for the day and then about 6 pm that night me and my dad went back to check on him, he was nowhere to be found. He ripped up about half the houses carpet and just ran away, we then dug deeper he apparently had done it to do many people, James was arrested later this year and is in jail slowly paying back everyone that he robbed from. So this just goes make sure you look at everything about the people you hire, stay safe
Can we just appreciate this guy's hype in all of his videos
And here I was thinking James was going to say that it was Sophia who robbed him. She's obviously stolen his heart!
