Welcome to Peter Johannesen Ripped Me Off
In July 2011 my wife and I entered into a contract with Peter Johannesen to get
our kitchen remodeled. Little did we know what Peter had or I should say not had
in store for us and so began our journey of being a victim to the false representation
of this mans contracting company. I put this site together in search of more victims
and to compile history on the contracting companies run by Peter Johannesen.

Peter has removed any references of his name from his site and more importantly his About Us page.
He has alternatively chose to use "PJ" instead of Peter Johannesen. It is also worthy to note that Peter has changed the names of his architect, structural engineer, and urban planner to new names all of which
can not be verified if they are actually working with him.

Contractor Scams
All too often ignorant consumers are being taken advantage of by predators in the
contracting business. Much to their dismay they find themselves a victim of a con
artist that baits them into signing a contract with the intention of doing actual
business. Only then after looking up the laws, after the fact, do they fully understand
they had been taken advantage of. As a consumer your initial reaction is to pursue
legal action against this company/individual. This often can require hiring legal
representation and can easily cost more than the money you lost with a dishonest
contractor. This is the state that most consumers just give up and take it on the
chin. I however have devised a method for you as a consumer to fight back using
social tools that are already available to you with next to little or no cost on
your behalf depending on how far you want to take it.
If something like this has happened to you, the first advice you might hear from
your friends is to let it go. This is when you turn to your friend and tell them
to give you the money you lost and you will let it go. They won't give you the money,
and you know you should not let it go. Innocent consumers should not be taken advantage
of and when we do we should have an outet for the masses to hear our voice and it's
our duty as a consumer to fight back.
The more activity you create online the more opportunity you will find others like
yourself. Put away your pride and tell your story. This is the most important aspect
of this whole experience is that others know what happened to you so you hopefully
get people to avoid this particular situation. Our end goal is to unite the victims
and file an official complaint with the district attorney's and attorney generals
office to start an official investigation paid for by the state and not you as a
consumer.
