(128,000 posts)16. There was a scumbag in NM many years ago who would deliberately
hire the undocumented for his construction jobs, refuse to pay them on completion, and threaten them with the immigration goons if they dared complain. Everybody knew what he did, nobody did anything about him. Until I moved there, and learned about this disgusting excuse for a person. By the time I was done, his business was completely gone, and more than one relevant official shuddered when they heard my name. Cannot imagine why.

Yes usually the case. Homeowner was bamboozling the contractor from the start.

Stiffing the contractors after the work is completed? Where in the world would they learn that from?

What sucks is she'll probably go to court and agree to just pay material costs
