I live in St Louis and I would be so happy if we had a Rob here. yeah our "fox 2" station does something called "you paid for it" where they call out corruption in any of our 85 local governments in this town, but not con people. only after they get arrested do they get on the news
@@TheFrenchPug I say the same thing, I'm a Contractor too, I've never heard of such a thing, I'm in Connecticut, some ask for 1/3 down, some ask for cost of materials up front, but I never heard of paying for the job up front. Personally, I never ask for anything up front, and many times I've been asked by the customer if I need any during the job, but I like getting the full payment when I'm done, and the customer is happy, also, to me it's a better incentive, and it feels good loading up the truck with the full payment in hand, then driving away.
@@stovepipe1015 Exactly. Can understand if you're first starting out and you need money to buy materials. But these people don't do that because then they wouldn't have any cash to steal.
I laughed my socks off when I saw the company name. I'm Scottish and here we use Kid On to mean "pretend" or "fake", so you can guess how we read "Kidon Security"? 🤣🤣🤣
That’s messed up don’t harass someone you have no business with. It’s okay to watch these and enjoy them but you have no right to personally interfere or harass somebody
@@Tzreoaor It's a good thing you're here to tell people what not to do and what's okay to do. And the only one "interfering" here is you through your sad attempt to control others. And what about Rob? Doesn't he interfere with the scammers? You gonna tell him he's wrong for doing that? Consider using your brain and spending less time trying to control others.
Legitimate contractors often ask for partial payment upfront to at least cover material ordering costs, that's not suspect at all. There are thousands of businesses in and surrounding Wayne County where Rob does the bulk of his investigating, the ones he places into the Hall of Shame are the outliers that weaponizes standard contract payment into neglecting, if not outright scamming, clients.
@@DurradonXylles Yeah but legit contractors should do such payments by PayPal. That way if someone gives a deposit and a scammer no shows, you can charge back.
@@DurradonXylles I disagree. A “legitimate” contractor should be able to pay for materials and supplies via pre-existing relationships and existing supply chains. I’ve paved parking lots for over 20 years now. I do six-figure projects a couple times a week. I’ve literally never once taken a deposit. If someone doesn’t pay…. …I get to keep your property. It’s all pretty simple. A “legit” contractor will secure his work through the legal system already in place. What YOU are talking about…are small residential handy-men. Those are equally important…but they’re not “contractors”. They’re fix-it guys. They do the “honey do” list…not serious projects. There’s a BIG difference between Old Lady Roberta’s appliance install…and an office building’s security system.
When it comes to felonies, bottomfeeder Zack has seven. When it comes to awards for excellence in broadcasting and journalism, Rob Wolchek deserves at least that many, if not more.

That guy Zach is as crooked as all get out. And then he has the nerve to stand there and lie. What a tool. Hope everybody he stole money from get reimbursed somehow, sometime, someday! Thank you for uploading this video and sharing!
Haha! No one zaps them ole Rob W! He has the gift of gab to ruin them and with their own words and actions against them and puts these cockroaches into the spotlight so MAYBE....Law enforcement or the Attorney General will do something..Maybe even the people with a little "street justice" hehe... Anything to add to their Hall of Shame! Peace!
The people lost money. The library acts like it is their own owned building. The board should have to pay out of their pockets unstead of doing a simple background check.
The Simpsons had an episode years ago about a company run by convicted felons that did home security. Their motto was, "Straight from the big house to your house."
I wish we had a ‘Rob’ in our city in Upstate New York 😊 Amazing work, I love these reports. Makes feel like someone really cares about the honest, hard working people in the world. ❤
I watched a similar story out of Dallas where the security camera installer had his own secret password to the customer’s home security camera that he installed and watched the family constantly from afar.
Well as you guys all know im marsil from the video, Mr Rob is the man, there way more information that was not on tv and 6 other people that he scammed! I am going full blast on him , i got three different law sues on him with two different lawyers!
When this guy pulls up at your house or business he’s already thinking about how he’s gonna rip you off and if he should do it now or what the deal is but it’s gonna get done either way
When you read his reviews on google any negative review he gets super defensive and writes a five page response stating how nothing is his fault. You tell tell from his responses he's full of 💩. There is one review when he starts put accepting blame but by the end of his response he had turned it into the customers fault. He sopund like a guy that is putting his customers money up his nose faster than it can come in.
The idea of being caught and the video being on a Cloud somewhere for authorities to review is often enough of a deterrence to stop any criminal with a brain. Obviously it won't physically stop someone who'd committed and you can always block out a camera's vision or disable it
As crazy as it sounds A LOT of security companies and A LOT of security guards are felons. I was on felony parole a few years back and I was on parole for years and most of the people there worked as security guards or for a security firm. And many of these places were always hiring people like us. We had a board in the office that listed place’s hiring because part of being on parole was having a job, and most of the places listed were in security
Small businesses are the best (for both quality of work and price), but among them lurk the crooks of the fly-by-night variety, saying anything to get in your door. Never pay anyone in advance for work to be done. The large companies are also bad, if they use contracts with a different price than their verbal estimate (which is a red flag) as they know better how to trap you. Anyone requiring you to sign a contract with the final price (sans itemization, etc.) is legally robbing you, so get several estimates beforehand and take notice of the price variations, and itemization (or lack thereof). Also, when a seller wants to add something as a frill or benefit, he is simply using something unnecessary to elicit more funds from you. And finally, never let anyone pressure you by saying there is a special offer if you get it now, as that is also a trap.
You never know when these Rob Wolchek uploads will appear but are always pleasantly surprised when they do!

Funny this guy lives down the street, and I was wondering why his van hasn't been parked out front lol
Rob looks so good! He’s irreplaceable! I wish he could live forever. ❤ He needs his flowers he’s an icon! 👏🏾❤️
He gone security 😂😂😂
I click these videos so fast!
I LOVE Rob: "You ARE a crook!". I wish Rob would run for office.
Then we'd lose him doing what he does best.
He’s too honest!
First !! No better way to start the weeekend !!!!!

Thanks for warning us about Zach. I’m in the market for security and will definitely not consider Zach !
😂😂😂 I couldn't resist, I had to try calling the number as well! LOL But went straight to a voicemail for "Kidon Security" 🤣🤣

These episodes should be aired on national T.V. every time one's released!
So he's mad because someone rightfully called him a drug addict.😂😂😂
We need this on every news to make sure no one gets ripped off by people like this . Thanks Rob !
It's one two three strikes and you're out at the old ball game so much for the insecure security cams. Thank you! Always enjoy
Haha! No one zaps them ole Rob W!

Anything to add to their Hall of Shame! Peace!
Hopefully Rob has been cloned so when he passes away, his clones can continue on!
I don’t live near Michigan but have been watching Rob Wolchek for many years
Hey Zack, I need a security camera installed in my basement..........🤣🤣
This is a good one!
this never gets old.👍👍
He honestly could have some serious problems defrauding that library.
LOL... "you don't have to be rude" off the bat, that got to be good!
You rock Rob. Your AWESOME!!! Rob going to get the scoop. "YOUR IN THE HALL OF SHAME"
Every Hall-of-Shamer has an uttering and publishing charge. 🤣🤣
The people lost money. The library acts like it is their own owned building. The board should have to pay out of their pockets unstead of doing a simple background check.
This is a much higher quality version of the video uploaded on Fox 2 Detroit channel a couple days ago. Nice.

No legitimate company would demand money up front for any job! Money for materials up front definitely!
I watched a similar story out of Dallas where the security camera installer had his own secret password to the customer’s home security camera that he installed and watched the family constantly from afar.
Ex criminal = job is guaranteed to be 1/2 assed. If that.
He's definitely a functioning addict this is why he needs that cash up front. He's not fooling this recovering addict.
The thumbnail makes it look like I’ve already watched most of this video
Much love from Ontario canada love your work in this series rob. Great job revealing this security cam scam
Well as you guys all know im marsil from the video, Mr Rob is the man, there way more information that was not on tv and 6 other people that he scammed! I am going full blast on him , i got three different law sues on him with two different lawyers!
Never been this early to a Rob Wolocheck Story. Btw first
Congratulations.
Every town and every city needs a Rob Wolchek.
I wonder why Wolchek doesn't take police with him when he confronts these folks. There's a free arrest there every time.
Not all superheroes wear capes but l definitely think that rob wolchek definitely deserves one just think what Rob would see from above.
Never Ever !! pay any up front money to Any Contractor !!
When this guy pulls up at your house or business he’s already thinking about how he’s gonna rip you off and if he should do it now or what the deal is but it’s gonna get done either way
Rob will win another Emmy award for sure
never hire anyone with out a bond.... PERIOD, same for insurance
Don't hire this convict. 😄👍💯
Rob, next time say “cry me a river build a bridge and get over it” 🤣 my dad said that to me 30+ years ago and i’ve never forgot it 😅✌🏻
My man Big Shot Rob ALWAYS has receipts, when will these dummies learn not to argue with the goat?

more like.....HE GONE SECURITY
Love these.
How to handle Rob Walchek
Step 1: Accuse Rob of doing everything that he may or may not even have accused you of...
Zack: i went to install the cameras, 🎶but then i got high🎶
My question is, wouldn't it be easier to just complete the job?
Looks like it'd be less stress
Did Rob just do a gas station encounters’ ‘she-gone!!’ ??
Security cameras dont make you safer. They just record what happens.
Wow Einstein.
The idea of being caught and the video being on a Cloud somewhere for authorities to review is often enough of a deterrence to stop any criminal with a brain. Obviously it won't physically stop someone who'd committed and you can always block out a camera's vision or disable it
Thank you Captain Obvious😂😂
No shit lol 😂
"He gone security."🤣
He’s not even licensed. Always background check a contractor before you hire them.
Keep up the good work Rob Wolchek.
i LUV what you do ROB!
Its why you pay with credit card with a 6 month period to dispute any transaction.

Umm yeah I would love a 7 time felony to come put security system
Get 'em Rob..MANYTHNX!
This guy should investigative reporter in Washington DC
Didn't ask him about the library. Would love to hear his excuse for that one
People counting cameras? Glad your taxes are being spent responsibility and morally
Where are the cops for 'larceny by trick'?
