Type of a scam Home Improvement

Scammer “JD Gibson” gave us an estimate to have some trees cut down and promised to do the job within a week of the estimate, and promised he would clean up the mess and haul away remaining stumps, twigs, etc. He required a 50% downpayment ($2,000), which we paid him directly in cash. He promised to perform the job on a certain date and when the day came, he made excuses about why he couldn’t do the job he promised yet. Long story short, after several subsequent conversations with him in which he promised he’d come the next day or then the next morning or then the next afternoon, he never showed up and simply kept our money. We complained to the local police and are considering filing a suit against him in small claims court. There are apparently several people in our area who have had similar experiences with him as I’ve learned on our Next Door app. We are very upset that we and many others have been taken advantage of and stolen from.
