California Contractor Skips Town With Customer Deposits; One Homeowner Left Without A Home

KBAK-TV Channel 29 (Bakersfield, California) reports:

• "At least eight families in Arvin [California] say they paid a contractor to build homes or make room additions -- and the work has never been done. The families say they paid thousands to contractor Salvador Arevelo Moreno, and he has disappeared without finishing the jobs. [...] The Salinas family paid Moreno $50-thousand dollars to tear down their old house and build a new one. The old house was demolished, but the new house has never been built."
