Q: Scammed by Roofing Company
On August 25, 2024, I paid my roofing contractor Kim Florian, who was employed by Orange Elephant Roofing for a replacing the roof on my house and on my shed. My insurance company was going to pay for the roof replacement but I was required to pay half down. I gave my contractor a check in the amount of $8185.09 as a down payment and was told it was going to be 6-8 weeks before the work was going to be done. I was told on Wednesday, October 23 that my contractor was laid off by the company. She gave me their email address and corporate phone number and I have been unable to contact them by phone. I emailed them and haven't heard back from them. My home owner's insurance will be dropped by the insurance company if it's not done by May 2025. What can I do to get my money back?
