MEMPHIS, Tenn. — One week to the day after two women came forward saying their contractor scammed them out of thousands , an arrest warrant has been issued for that contractor.
Audrea Gilliom now faces two felony charges — one for theft of property and the other for impersonating a licensed professional.
But even with these charges, the women who came forward say they still have a long road to recover from their time working with Gilliom
Dr. Shayna Wilson, who was driving back to Memphis from Louisiana, says she is still trying to salvage the work she says her former contractor did not finish.
“I just had to go and pick up the doors, repay and pick up the doors I actually paid Mr. Gilliom $32,000 for,” she said.
Women say contractor scammed them out of thousands
Dr. Wilson was one of two women who came forward, demanding their money back from Audrea Gilliom with AVE Concrete Contractors.
Wilson is still out of nearly $50,000.
“I’m going to be honest, I have not really slept well at night since April or May,” Wilson said. “This will probably be the first night I get some sleep because I feel like no one cared.”
