He's got nothing in return."I had several companies come out to the house, and this was not the cheapest.

While some work was done on the bathrooms, Lefty says the majority of the work he paid for has yet to happen.

"There's a lot of unhappy people who are out a lot of money."If I don't get the money, it hurts some. But how about the people who are out $70,000 - $100,000," Salvati said.
