Hi everyone.  I'm putting out this info because I got ripped off by a company in San Antonio  called 3 sixty group. They called themselves as contractors but are nothing but scammers. I lost over 40k so far. They don't answer phone calls anymore and definitely don't provide a quality service.  Sergio Benavidez and Gerard Wilson are the main point of contact. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

 What were they doing for you? Were they the contractor? Were they licensed?

Hi. They supposed to do remodel my whole house in San Antonio  Texas. After the first two draws, 21k total, he need more money to keep doing the job. The third draw was for 31k. One week after getting the money Sergio dissappear.  No contact,  emails or nothing like that.  

In the following week I got ahold of his partner,  Gerard. He kept working in the house untill after his last draw when he disappeared leaving the house completely undone.

I'm getting another contractor to finished house for me  but, again, they are not contractors. They are thieves trying to take advantage of out of state investors.

Sorry to hear that….I had something similar happen to me on a flip I was doing before I was able to find solid and reliable contractors. I was lucky that I have able to recoup some of the money by hiring a good construction attorney and filing a lawsuit against the contractor and we settled. Let me know if you are thinking about going that route and I can send you the attorneys contact. She specializes in things like this.
