Scammer, takes money, but does not do the service as promised

Not sure if this is the same Sean Ludwig that has scammed my daughter? But a Sean Ludwig in Illinois found on Craigslist that was referred to my daughter came over to fix my daughters fridge, took over $200.00 from her to order the part that was needed and has never been heard from again.

When my daughter calls he has one excuse after another even going so low to saying that his father past away. He has even blocked my daughter number so she has to call using a friends number. He will answer and its still just one excuse after another. I kinda feel like this May be the the same person as in Tenn.

scamming certain areas that are not far from his home. Who really knows where he is from, or how many states he may be scamming. I mean whats a few hour drive if you can take money from people?!!! Its worth the drive for him.

Id say he has a good ploy going on here. The last I heard is that he is coming to my daughters home today by 5pm I guess well see.

Its a crying shame people have to be such *** as to steal from others!! I suggest everyone that has been scammed by this person to file a complaint with your local police and take him to small claims court.

This guy is horrible. He was extremely late to fix our dryer and two weeks into our six month warranty he wont answer the phone.

I will be seeking legal action. Do not trust this guy.

Ludwig Rci Services Refrigerator Repair Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Sean Ludwig had been hired twice by us for two different jobs. The first job, was for our dryer.

It had stopped heating up and I had assumed it was the heating element. When he arrived, he took a look and said it was the vent. Said it was clogged and was throwing the thermostat off. He cleaned out the vent and replaced the thermostat and the dryer has worked well so far.

The second job, was for our refrigerator. The freezer had stopped working and all of the fold had defrosted. He told us over the phone what he thought it was and it would cost $140 to repair it. He arrived 3 hours later than he said he would, and once he was finished replacing what he said was the compressor, he said it had a 6 month warranty and if i had any issues to call him back.

He then charged me $240, a good $100 more than what we agreed on. Well, not 3 weeks later, my refrigerator is doing it again. We called Sean 3 times and he never answered. Then I sent him a text message and he called us back saying he would be here by 3 o clock.

He never showed.

And after awhile he stopped answering our phone calls. Now, I'm out $240 for a "repair" and a "warranty" that he didnt even honor.

Sean is a low life scammer. I had a washing machine that was making loud noise on the final spin.

Contact the low life, he ask for $240 to get it fix I was ok with that as long it get fix. Him and his buddy show up. They move a few things 20 mins later, he show me that it spinning fine now. I don't know much about washing machine so I was ok with it.

I pay him the $240 and $10 tips. The next morning when we try to use it. Same thing it still making loud noise. I call up Sean, he agree to come out within an hour.

3 hrs later never show up. I called him again now he in middle of a job he was going to head my way as soon he is done. Next thing i know it 8pm.

He won't make it he promised to come out the next day around 10:30am which never happen. Now he stop answer my call.

Same! He’s terrible and I hate that he is getting away with it.

He blocked my number and my only recourse is to warn others ok Craigslist. I also have his plate number and have contacted the cops.

Ludwig RCI Services - Repair Review from Nashville, Tennessee

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Ludwig answered a call to repair what we thought was a leaking water line leading to ice maker. He charged @ least $75.

Sorry I can't recall exact amount. He stayed 15-20 minutes & said it was fixed. Starting leaking again & he wouldn't come back-constant excuses! Finally, after 5 phone calls he stopped answering!

Hiller Company came & diagnosed problem as in the fridge itself. They showed me where cut off was & all for

Liars and Thieves

Sean and his partner entered my house to install a gas line. Immediately I was put off because Sean wouldnt get off the phone to talk to me.

Finally he did and we discussed a price for the gas line installation. He was completely unprepared. He borrowed wood, tools and even screws to complete the job. He had to leave to get supplies.

He ended up taking about 3 hours for what he said would take 1 hour. He drilled multiple holes in the ceiling. He continued to yell into his phone during the work process. When he finished he charged $110 more than originally agreed.

He left with my tools and his partner stole some items from the bathroom he had access to. I called to reconcile the loss.

He will not answer the phone nor return my calls.

this *** came by to "repair" my dryer and did a *** job doing so. It broke right after he left and he pretended that he would come back to fix it but really he was just running away with my money not looking back.

Well, I felt sorry for this guy today. But after he put me off at least 4 times...and called about 5 other times thinking I was another number for a different job that he needed to call back...I looked him up.

Glad I did. It's a shame, I hope he gets his life straight, it sounds like he might have some personal problems.

He was very aloof and always seemed a bit confused in regard to keeping up with what he had going on. Just glad I Google'd him beforehand.
