I hired Mark Markham to do job in our house. He asked to provide the advance payment and I paid about $15.000. After that he called me and told that he was sick, but he promised to come back after 2 days. I tried to reach him after 3 days, but his phone was blocked. I don’t know how to return my money back, but I can’t lose money. I have serious problems now, so I really need money. Please, help me to get money back.

Due to the incompletion of the job in a professional manner and the reluctance of
Mark Markham to redo the discrepancies, we have taken it upon ourselves to research our options, to find out what choices we have and to decide which way to go, to bring our bathroom project to completion in the manner in which we had expected from the beginning.
We had gone to the Village of Arlington Heights Building Department and spent time talking with Valerie Gerstein. She suggested we file reports with the Cook County State Attorney's Office and the Illinois State Attorney's Office.
In the meantime, Mark Markham had closed and completely gutted his place of business, completely removing all kitchen and bathroom displays, with no previous or forwarding notice in his window, only a phone number for rental information at a rental agency, leaving his above address null and void.
At this point upon doing research I was able to obtain more information as to his business whereabouts since the above one is no longer viable.

August 5, 2013 Update
They closed down their location at 1818 N Arlington Heights Rd, #A, Arlington Heights, IL. It has been closed for a few months now. Not sure where they relocated. Their website is still working http://markhamhomeimprovement.com/
Just updating their information in case they transfer to another city/state and start scamming other people, too. These people have scammed us, too, and we don't want them to scam any more people.

I would do what you're doing and file a complaint with the states attorneys office. I would also contact your local news station to see if they'd be willing to run a story on TV about this company. Best of luck to you.
