Ethan's a drain expert. his customers say, good at draining their wallets. A plumber driving his customers plumb-crazy with excuses for not showing up.
When you get sued and don't make any payments towards the judgement against you, your license is automatically suspended. I don't know if that's why this guy's is suspended, but that's the case in many of these other videos. Source: I got sued for $1,200 when I was 19. My license was actually suspended even though I was making payments, and I couldn't get it back until it was paid in full.
Can’t follow rules or be honest , it’s a thing now a days ! They get exposed by their own “ Social Media Weapon” backfires and gets them caught by citizens who expose them on Social Media 🙏🏽🤗
Does anyone know his address? His wheels might go missing along with the rest of his property and sold for the victims. The law really needs to cease his assets and sell it off at auction to give back to the victims.
@@zavankan4796 if they do, then they are not reputable. Good, reliable, trustworthy contractors use their own money to start a job and will ask to be paid for work done at certain points during. Also they give you a contract to look over and agree with first.
@@thefuture8173 my friend does construction, he always requests a down payment, most of it goes for materials, and a small amount goes to him. you know how many times hes been burned by buying materials and having a client cancel the job and fuck him over? too many times.
I'm a contractor we have a contract that you signed and the company signed which legally binds us legally binds the client to pay the amount legally binds the company to finish the job completely so on so forth and everything the contract states and the client will pay half down and then the other half when the job is finished no one gets screwed. That way like that one person said if the client wants to act grimy and not pay at least the company only loses out on the labor and a little overhead yes it sucks and it happens more times then you think not only can companies be grimey like these people that we see in the videos but so can the clients just as much if not more and at least we get the material money back that one person said it perfectly. We have a 90% repeat customer rate so for the one person to say companies that charge money down are unreliable and bad companies you either got burned in the past and one company ruined it for the others like it always goes or you don't know at all and have never been burned and you're just talking out your ass either way I resent that.
You would probably never front someone that much in the first place. Plumbers typically don't charge for anything until the work is done and most people know that, I assume including you.
As a contractor I don’t use home advisor because it charges me at least $50 just to get someone’s phone number. I started my business a few months ago and I’ve noticed a lot of contractors are better salesman’s than they are trademen. It’s sad to see as a young guy compete with these guys
When hiring a contractor, ask for a copy of their State license, ask for a copy of their insurance. If they have neither on them, or start double talking, FIND SOMEONE ELSE. If they don't have their name or phone # on their truck, a license plate, or an office you can visit. FIND SOMEONE ELSE! If they pressure you for a deposit when they meet you not allowing time for a decision. If they don't give you excellent customer service. If they seem shady in any way. FIND SOMEONE ELSE!
Yes yes yes and yes. In my state if the job is over a thousand dollars the contractor must be licensed and insured. Never front money for work or materials. If they have no license then they are a handyman and in my state they can't do plumbing or electrical in addition to the 1000 dollar rule.
Why would you go to Facebook for anything? You can look up local companies that have independent reviews. This is the problem with the next generation. Everything is supposed to be perfect after they make poor decisions. Like buying a home that you don't buy with a spouse. Owning a home with someone you don't have a commitment with will not end well.
Why don't they call the police that he is driving with a suspended license. The police would have cause to pull him over since he doesn't have a plate on his truck.
People PAID UPFRONT?! Try paying 10% for materials to the contractor and the BALANCE WHEN THE JOB IS COMPLETE. Sue that sob in small claims court also if you can. He's using your money to purchase cars. And another thing, he's never, ever been pulled over for no license plate what sleepy time town is he living in?
Newsman asked Rob why people don't check Angie's List or something like that. I had a friend who owned a lumber company and he said not to use Angie's list. The contractors who go through them have to pay them for refering them for jobs, so the contractor will charge you more to cover what they had to pay Angie's List. He said the best thing is to talk to the local lumber companies or plumbing supply stores.
How is this guy not arrested yet? Ripping people off, driving with no license and driving a truck with no plate. Yet a cop pulls me over for doing 4 mph above the speed limit.
Nothing Worse Than A Thief! Cut his hands off and he won't be able to take anymore checks or 💵. Class action lawsuit should force him to sell those sweet rides at an open auction and pay people back. Loser!
Omg, he just ripped all these people off. He should be in jail. His license is suspended, he has no tags on the truck, and he has no business license. How are these people still falling for this? They should call the police.
I know some legit trades people cross over into other areas, but I would never higher anyone other than an electrician/HVAC guy to install a Generac. And I probably would not hire a plumber to add a bathroom to my home.
I don't understand why Fox 2 doesn't actually DO more. You *know* he doesn't have a driver's license, but yet you refuse to call police and tell them that there's an unlicensed guy pretending to be a plumber driving a big freaking blue commercial truck down the road? Wouldn't be hard to spot, but I don't see much "DO" from this team, either. What's the deal?
Ethan: Sorry I didn’t show up. I died. I’ll try to make it
😆
🤣
Yoooooo this shit literally got me crying over here 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He will try to resurrect, no promises.
Lololol
I'm from California and live in washington state but this guys segments are legendary and I've never even been to detroit.
I know lol I'm in Texas here man. Wish everyone had a local news investigator like Rob to go after dirt bags like these people lol
@@johnnieboy3458 Seriously though! We have a guy like him where I'm from but this guy really gets in the trenches.

Visit detroit dude it’s awesome 😎
I'm in sault ste marie Ontario 🇨🇦 and Iv bin watched all these vids lol
Him covering his face when the camera showed. Not knowing they already had multiple clips of him!😂
I hope Rob gets paid what he’s worth…he’s a damn entertaining guy! Keep exposing these lowlifes Rob!!
Detroit is blessed to have Rob! Would do anything to have someone like that on my local news station.
fr im binging these like live pd

It would be funny if one of his customers takes his alternator out.😊

They come up with every stupid little reason to suspend people's driver license. It's a money pit they don't really care that much about road safety
100% correct
I was going to say the same thing.
Can’t follow rules or be honest , it’s a thing now a days ! They get exposed by their own “ Social Media Weapon” backfires and gets them caught by citizens who expose them on Social Media 🙏🏽🤗
Ethan disliked this video from prison LOL
Ethan : I’m sorry, I have to take my unicorn to the vet.
Wish these guys would do it to the wrong person the first time and they'd get there leg broke

Never, never, never pay for something until the work is done.
Most places request a down payment first.

“You don’t have a driver’s license Ethan” *Almost hits dumpster*🤣

It's not worth the price of freedom
@@ANGELSURS wise words

If you need my money to buy supplies for your business. “I’ll call you if I’m interested in your offer.”
I love that rob is still doing this lol
Good work my man 👌
Why would you hire a plumber to install a generator?
🤣🤣🤣
“You don’t have a drivers license Ethan”
Probably my favorite Rob quote of all time!
"You don't have a drivers license Ethan" 😂
I think I saw this van on telegraph today
Thank you for defending the victims instead of trying to blame them like the other anchor was trying to do.

These fools can’t play rob
Guys like this just need to be tought a lesson by force by a couple street justice guys, that's what sets them straight.
That guy should never leave his house with the luck he has lol
I’ve spent my entire Sunday watching Rob’s videos. Day well spent.

Always!!! So True. I even call the insurance company they provide just to make sure they are insured, it's so easy today to find out.
Yes yes yes and yes. In my state if the job is over a thousand dollars the contractor must be licensed and insured. Never front money for work or materials. If they have no license then they are a handyman and in my state they can't do plumbing or electrical in addition to the 1000 dollar rule.
I was going to say I would’ve had a cop sitting right there when he took off because he don’t have a license
Lol. He tapped the window with the extended microphone. Lol. This guy is great 💪
Love these videos

Like buying a home that you don't buy with a spouse. Owning a home with someone you don't have a commitment with will not end well.
My number one rule. Never work with a company that comes door to door or contacts you first.
I've never even been to Michigan but I love every episode Rob puts out.
Rob is the best ever.
The most entertaining videos on TH-cam by far 🤣
Why are you paying him before he does the work?
He's in the HALL OF SHAME ! Imagine this fake life he lives loving cars and DOESNT HAVE a LICENSE ! ghesh... what a fool .
He looks lazy. Never pay a contractor up front. Reputable contractors don’t require it.
The firefighter is a good guy you can tell. I hate when people get taken advantage of by hustlers
Why don't they call the police that he is driving with a suspended license. The police would have cause to pull him over since he doesn't have a plate on his truck.

Send a real Collector over and help him with his Broken knees,...
Why do knee cap wiggle?
Mr. Wolcheck, you deserve an award for what you do. What a great series this is.
Love this dude. Rob is a hero.
I lost all my contacts in a boating accident lol
I love this guy. He's convinced me to never move to Detroit.
My insides are hurting from Wolchek reading those excuses.
Hire me and my boys. I'm in the collection business. I'll have Ethan personally deliver your money 😎
The report is hilarious… “ hey dude” I can’t
hall of shame should exist everywhere this man is doing gods work
The cheap always comes out expensive!
Not true
He’s paying for his breast implants.
I like the sound effects of the truck on the map lol

Rob Wolchek belongs in his own HALL OF SHAME!!!!! Just kidding; luv how he says "HALL OF SHAME".
I just discovered this channel today and am now binging bad haha
Anyone else binge watch these?
A plumber to install a generator? Now that’s some funny shit!
1st lesson- don’t ask for plumbers publicly on Facebook😂😂
I know almost nothing about plumbing but I know a new sump should not cost that much.
hmmm who should i call to install my back up generator? a plumber!
ANY company offering free estimates is not to be taken seriously.
‘Sump Pump Chump’ 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
If you see wolcheck. Coming your way ….you be up a creek😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great job. He's really a DRIP OF SHAME.
I and the Attorney General have a warrant for your Arrest. Covid-19 that.
These so called contractors should be on the local news stations
I’m in California watching a news segment from across the country and living it….damn I’m getting old
This guy sounds like the mother of my kids with all those lies/excuses lol 🤣😂🤣
You guys should have called the cops for his suspended license hahaha
How is this guy not arrested yet? Ripping people off, driving with no license and driving a truck with no plate. Yet a cop pulls me over for doing 4 mph above the speed limit.
Nothing Worse Than A Thief!
Cut his hands off and he won't be able to take anymore checks or 💵. Class action lawsuit should force him to sell those sweet rides at an open auction and pay people back. Loser!
How does he drive around in a vehicle with no license plate and not get pulled over? Not having a license either.
Angie's list , home advisor . Hahaha what a joke !!!
Imagine how much money these crooks could really make if they ran an honest business. Such a shame
This reporter right here is a legend! I wish we had one like him in MS
Cement shoes would fit this guy perfect.
Sounds like a 14 explaining to their mum why they cant go to school.
Should've had the cops there to pull him over lol
Sounds like he’s taking the money and going on Vacation
Only a true Michigander will wear a hoodie when it’s snowing 🤣 the days
The real thief here is the College Student who "works for" the firefighters money
Never give anyone money up front. Pay after the work is done and your satisfied with it.
surprise he didnt use the good o" "dog ate my homework" excuse yet.
Ironic he is wearing a shirt that says “Michigan Mafia” 🤣🤣😂😂
Honestly, what intelligent person uses Facebook to find a qualified maintenance person for their home?
Omg, he just ripped all these people off. He should be in jail. His license is suspended, he has no tags on the truck, and he has no business license. How are these people still falling for this? They should call the police.

That's so fked up. Dude just stole 3,200$ front that women. Just straight up robbed her.
DIY...put these scammers out of business!
Why don’t they get this crook in jail I knew a contractor that did that took over $200,000 from customers and now he’s seating in jail for a long time
I cant find any update on this guy or this story. These people ever get their money back, this guy ever get prosecuted?
You guys should do a segment called "Dope Sick" about guys like this and their mindless excuses.
Boy! That guy's a snake in the grass!
