Report

Person asked for material money up front for a window ($750) and siding ($3,400) and stated he had ordered the materials in January to be delivered in March. Another material draw of $1820 was requested of which $800 was used to purchase sheetrock and supplies for the inside work that would take 4 days to complete and was spread over 16 days but never completed but he asked for labor draws of $4000.. Discovered the contractor was not licensed as a contractor, had only a business license, and could not purchase the required siding; and that he never showed up at the window vendor to purchase the window in January as he had stated. Over the next 2 months, Jason Melton RMR continued the charade until I started to question the labor draws which had greatly exceeded the estimate for the entire project with only sheetrock installed, no attic insulation, no siding, and no window at which time Mr. Melton discontinued contact. Mr. Melton played a cat-and-mouse game on the siding and window even sending pictures of him looking at the siding at the supplier and texting that he had picked up the materials and was on his way. All through the project, Mr. Melton collected more and more money from this senior citizen with every sob story there could be, even claiming at one point to have received a frozen check from a customer that would be cleared up in a week and that he needed to borrow the money from me until the issue could be resolved in a week. As he came well represented by relative and neighbor, I loaned him the money to keep him from bouncing any more checks. A few days later he came back to get more so that he could keep his crews working as the other customer's check had not cleared up yet. $5872 down the drain. He has been revealed to me a thief and a liar who is taking advantage of older people and women. I have located at least (4) more victims who I am trying to encourage to report this so that others may be warned. Had I know about this site, I would have checked in prior to giving any checks. Some of the other people were required to pay in cash although they had good standing at their banks. One victim was even a teller at a bank.

The fraudster is misrepresenting himself as a licensed contractor. Once he has the material money, he provides limited materials even to the point that his crews have to wait for material deliveries or go to another jobsite. I suspect that Contractor is using one customer's material money to pay for materials at another customer's job which means this pyramid scheme will end at some point with big losers which appear to be this soft-heart. Contractor is currently working at 4424 Platinum Drive in Knoxville and that Customer is experiencing some of the same delay tactics that I have experienced (Mr. **** (865-***-****)..

I checked with Anderson County civil court and discovered that Mr. Melton has had two cases since June of last year but I could not find out the details. If I can believe him, he has performed work in Sevier, Knox, and Anderson County but I have not checked with other courts.

I have hired an attorney and have filed a ACSO sheriffs report. He is a crook and liar and needs to be stopped from harming others financially. I have additional details if needed.
