Upsetting to find this page as I wish i had found it prior to sending Chris my money.

basically was robbed for 360$. Diligent follow up to get the contract signed and have me e-transfer the money and then he disappears completely.

still unable to get a hold of him. Will be taking him to small claims court even if it's a waste of my time. Hoping someone has his real address.

Unacceptable that someone does this to people and has clearly been doing so for years now.

company that i hired is called Tyandaga Landscape and snow removal but seems they have had other names in the past including Alton snow removal.

I paid 600 dollar and he disappear. We do need to have a police to followup with this guy.

If you have been scammed please contact Halton regional police fraud department - they are working on a HUGE case against this low life.

Add me to the list of victims of this scammer.

I paid for the entire season for service at a rental property and he didn't show up. I contacted him repeatedly and threatened legal action and he showed up once. Two weeks later he sent someone else to the property who demanded an additional payment from the tenant.

This guy is super shady and will take your money and run. Learn from my mistake and don't use him.

WARNING: Changed company name is now operating as BRANT HILLS LANDSCAPING

First Month was fine, after that, it all went downhill - stopped coming and started begging for money. Didn't matter if it was a due date, I would get multiple texts and emails demanding payment. Then he would constantly claim there was not enough snow to shovel. Luckily my neighbour's buddy has a truck with a plow and cleared me out a couple times!

Ripped off like everyone else. Took payment, did not reply or show up after. Luckily, I have been able to gather enough information about this scammer in order to pursue the authorities and try to retrieve monies stolen.

If anyone else was scammed out of money and would like contact info of the individual to present to the police, kindly email me: AltonScam@gmail.com

He is a fraud. Took money and did not do work and never returned phone/text.

Unfortunately it seems I made it on the list of customers he scammed this season. sadly, it was to remove snow at my elderly parents, as they are unable to do so themselves. I've tried to reach Mr Mcswain for months to have a refund issued, and other than being rude "dont bug me'....he still has not met his contract obligations. Ive filed a claim against him, and would be happy to work with anybody else on this list to help them get their money back.

This company is fraud, as everyone is saying they are quick to respond when accepting money by e transfer but after that they disappear. I had full term contract with them and paid full money but they never came to clean the snow . No reply to emails, phone no is not connecting. Everyone should get together and file complaint against this company so that other people could be saved. If anyone agrees to me please contact me 6477748371
