Ethan's a drain expert. his customers say, good at draining their wallets. A plumber driving his customers plumb-crazy with excuses for not showing up.
Hey Rob messed up on this one. This Ethan guy is legit! I called him to install my mailbox. He came right over, took my down payment of $6000, and said he'll be back tomorrow with my mailbox. Edit: He called today and said he's in the hospital with Herpeghonnasyphilaids. I sure hope he gets to feeling better...poor guy. Edit: They cured the Herpeghonnasyphilaids but, unfortunately, the CIA has him in quarantine because he was poisoned by the North Koreans. This guy can't catch a break! I feel so bad for him. Edit: The CIA released him from quarantine but on his way home from the secret CIA base in Port Huron he got into a forty vehicle pileup and is the only survivor! I'm starting a GoFundMe to help pay for his medical bills. Edit: He's recovered from the accident but on the way home from the hospital someone pissed off Bruce Banner and when he hulked out he threw poor Ethan's truck into the river and now Ethan has no way to bring my mailbox. Edit: I'm starting to think Ethan may not be telling me the entire story here
When you get sued and don't make any payments towards the judgement against you, your license is automatically suspended. I don't know if that's why this guy's is suspended, but that's the case in many of these other videos. Source: I got sued for $1,200 when I was 19. My license was actually suspended even though I was making payments, and I couldn't get it back until it was paid in full.
Can’t follow rules or be honest , it’s a thing now a days ! They get exposed by their own “ Social Media Weapon” backfires and gets them caught by citizens who expose them on Social Media 🙏🏽🤗
He will get popped. Police were ignoring suspended licenses, expired tags, and no plates because of the Sec of State's Covid backlog. That's not a problem anymore.
I love how he didn't pull out a phone to notify police of a man driving a big commercial vehicle without a driver's license. Not seeing much good calling this guy.
With as many of these people that he catches who don’t have drivers licenses, I’m surprised he doesn’t use that line more often when they get in a car to flee. “You don’t have a drivers license!” Even better if he arranges for a cop to wait around the corner to pull them over
Does anyone know his address? His wheels might go missing along with the rest of his property and sold for the victims. The law really needs to cease his assets and sell it off at auction to give back to the victims.
@@zavankan4796 if they do, then they are not reputable. Good, reliable, trustworthy contractors use their own money to start a job and will ask to be paid for work done at certain points during. Also they give you a contract to look over and agree with first.
@@thefuture8173 my friend does construction, he always requests a down payment, most of it goes for materials, and a small amount goes to him. you know how many times hes been burned by buying materials and having a client cancel the job and fuck him over? too many times.
I'm a contractor we have a contract that you signed and the company signed which legally binds us legally binds the client to pay the amount legally binds the company to finish the job completely so on so forth and everything the contract states and the client will pay half down and then the other half when the job is finished no one gets screwed. That way like that one person said if the client wants to act grimy and not pay at least the company only loses out on the labor and a little overhead yes it sucks and it happens more times then you think not only can companies be grimey like these people that we see in the videos but so can the clients just as much if not more and at least we get the material money back that one person said it perfectly. We have a 90% repeat customer rate so for the one person to say companies that charge money down are unreliable and bad companies you either got burned in the past and one company ruined it for the others like it always goes or you don't know at all and have never been burned and you're just talking out your ass either way I resent that.
You would probably never front someone that much in the first place. Plumbers typically don't charge for anything until the work is done and most people know that, I assume including you.
No drivers license or plumbing license? Geeze, I'm surprised that he hasn't been arrested and charged by the State. This guy is why many people are refusing or are afraid to call plumbers or any contractor for that matter.
I live in New Jersey and watch Rob Wolcheks videos all the time!! He is awesome!! We need a guy like him here in NJ!! Every state and every town in the country should have a guy like him keeping people honest!
The energy it takes to scam someone is tremendous. These losers would rather spend their time doing that than doing the job correctly -that just blows my mind.
I moved to Michigan a few years ago and am blown away by how many people drive without or a suspended license. There seems to be a culture of it being the norm. Most of the people I've ran into that continually drive without a license seem to act without impunity. One person had driving on a suspended license 25 freaking times and still had a car driving around casually. Just ridiculous!
@@johnwilson8990 I knew a guy, he had someone switch lanes quickly in front of him, and there smack dab in front of him was a guy pulling his spare out of his trunk. He said he hit him so hard he landed in front of his own car. He was still making payments on the 100,000 dollars it cost him over two decades later, and if he failed a payment .. they pulled his license. Very bad news if you do have an accident without insurance, especially for the guy you hit.
As a contractor I don’t use home advisor because it charges me at least $50 just to get someone’s phone number. I started my business a few months ago and I’ve noticed a lot of contractors are better salesman’s than they are trademen. It’s sad to see as a young guy compete with these guys
People PAID UPFRONT?! Try paying 10% for materials to the contractor and the BALANCE WHEN THE JOB IS COMPLETE. Sue that sob in small claims court also if you can. He's using your money to purchase cars. And another thing, he's never, ever been pulled over for no license plate what sleepy time town is he living in?
Wolchek has guts. He has no security yet confronts criminals who could turn violent. Many of these thugs are no doubt junkies, so their behavior is unpredictable.
Hey do you think I can get Rob Wolchek to do a story in Ohio about how the local police are turning their back on citizen that was robbed during a home invasion and the local police did nothing? The victim even knows his attackers but the police has done nothing..
When hiring a contractor, ask for a copy of their State license, ask for a copy of their insurance. If they have neither on them, or start double talking, FIND SOMEONE ELSE. If they don't have their name or phone # on their truck, a license plate, or an office you can visit. FIND SOMEONE ELSE! If they pressure you for a deposit when they meet you not allowing time for a decision. If they don't give you excellent customer service. If they seem shady in any way. FIND SOMEONE ELSE!
Yes yes yes and yes. In my state if the job is over a thousand dollars the contractor must be licensed and insured. Never front money for work or materials. If they have no license then they are a handyman and in my state they can't do plumbing or electrical in addition to the 1000 dollar rule.
Why don't they call the police that he is driving with a suspended license. The police would have cause to pull him over since he doesn't have a plate on his truck.
I'm a contractor and that's one of the reasons I charge half down and half when the job is done it makes everyone feel secured and of course I have contracts and stuff that you sign and I sign so it legally binds us to finish the job and to get paid full am out it the end of the job it just makes everyone all the way around feel better and it's the way things are done. Its companies like this one if you can call the company that give good companies that actually do the work and that are actually there for the client to help them in any way possible and get the job done in a timely fashion while doing a great job a bad name most are repeat customers not every customer is a repeat they all have their reasons but 90% of them are.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang……home fry said he couldn’t come over cause he had to get a colonoscopy..ha ha ha ha ha…..whooooo, Lordy mercy. I done fell out of bed LAUGHING…..
