Summary
A 65-year-old contractor, Humberto Camarillo, was arrested for allegedly scamming clients by taking cash upfront for remodeling jobs then vanishing without finishing the work. One victim reported being asked for more money after paying a down payment — and then left hanging with no contact. Investigators uncovered enough evidence to arrest him, plus found he was wanted on two additional warrants for similar schemes. He was booked with a $10K bond and released on September 1st. Authorities are warning homeowners to verify credentials, get contracts in writing, and never pay extra until work is complete — your wallet’s safety depends on it.
