The Ben Shlush gang has probably started a new front company already

This caller has called twice and when I called him back he aswered the phone "construction", when told him that I was returning a call from this number (250-390-2042) and ask him what he wanted, he hung up.

Got a call from this number (205-390-2042) on 1/19/10 no message was left.  Recieved another call from the same number on 1/21/10, the call introduced himself as Mark then hung up.

Call from Erco Construction on 11/10/2009. The salesperson represented herself as "we came out a while back about adding a second story addition to your house".  I asked if "Matt" was there.  She says he is still there but isn't in at the moment.

In reality "Matt" is Matan (or Mattan) Ben Shlush and Erco construction is a front for the Ben Slush construction fraud gang.  These crooks did indeed come out and promise to add a second story addition to my house according to my approved plans.  They proceede to steal $60,000 from me, destroy my master bedroom, break the main ridgebeam of my house and then abandon the project.  The California Constractor's License Board, the Better Business Bureau and the Los Angeles District Attorney have all been useless at stopping the criminals.

These people are the wort sort of criminals
