Filed on: February 12016 Filed by Thomas Gaetani 97 River Street Lynn MA 01905 Filed against: Grafton Refrigeration 12 Collette Street South Grafton MA 01560 Complaint Description: Mr Thomas Gaetan had purposely stealing or swindling the money from me by giving a dysfunctional parts for the installation of the walking cooler. Thomas Gaetani is the owner of Grafton Refrigeration of 12 Collette street, South Grafton MA 01560. His phone number 508-277-2240 and email: tgae508@msn.com. On January 14,20151 have enter into a contract of building a walking cooler so I wrote down a deposit check for$500.00. The total amount of the walking cooler was ten thousand dollars.When I signed the contract he made me pay$5800.00 and when the delivery of panel I have to pay$2100.00. Once he got the big chunk of money of$5800.00 that was when he start harassing me for more money for example, he said I need to pay him more money for the panel because the city requirement of wall thickness is different and 1 have to help for the difference,thus he made me pay extra for$1059.00. He promise that he would do everything in the building for me by pulling the General contract permit with the city of Salem. Even though,the General contractor was not in his name but he claim his friend is the partner. From then on, he got all the reason to keep collecting the money payment by promising to do the work. May 22,2015 He charged$5400.00 for the electrical work and upon signing the contract of electrical he made me sign a check for$3200 on the same day to buy the materials. He and his people was there for a few hours and get some materials from HomeDepot and he didn't do any thing until August 10th,2015. Now after this he made me pay for all the parts or labor cost if I want to finish the job because he said he had not more money to buy or pay his people. Since I was so deep in it i was so desperate to have the job done and move on so I keep paying what he ask for; not only he took the money from me but he had given me the old and dysfunctional parts and hang on for the show. I even got a phone call from his ex-employee that Thomas had given me the not working parts that was taken from the other place and knowing it can not be fixed. He sent it over and took the cash for the part any way. Now it is more one year already and I have paid him more than$24,000.00 and the work was not finish and the parts that he install was all wrong or disfunction. 1 had two different refrigerations company come and estimate the job, all of them give the estimate cost of about$9000.00 in order to have it working. I lost all my saving and stuck with the building that I can not open for business. Please help me to resolve this problem. I don't know if any body can help me at this point but I just want to do the right thing to report this man crime so that nobody ever go through what i have been through. He had almost succeed in driving crazy and killing myself but I have a beautiful daughter who keep remind me of the more important thing in life. Every day i woke up and my dream and goal was robbed by this man because he would said he will send his people to work and i would wait there hours and hours and no one will show up.The only thing they will show up is when I promised to give more money for whatever excuse he could come up on that day.As many days went by and i sat there waiting I realizes this man had no moral and ethical responsibility at all. He cheated, he lied and he stole anyway possible from me. For instance, at one particular time he made me pay for the parts for Johnstone supply for$750.00 said its for my walking cooler and when three of his employees came they took out through the back door and put in their trunk and the box empty.When I ask what happen to the parts one of the guys said they put it on the roof. I knew he was lying because not body can reach the top of the roof with a ladder and they didn't take the ladder outside. I dragged the outside and claimed up there and see nothing on there.Then one of them make a phone call to Mr Thomas Geatani because I caught them red handed then they change the story that they took the part to be replaced with a different size. However, the part was never returned and the lied was buried.

LUTRZYKOWSKI ASSISTANT BUILDING INSPECTOR 120 Washington Street, Salem, MA 01970 Dear Mr LUTRZYKOWSKI My name is Bosolakhana Thach, Bo. You probably remember me come in and out of your office for the past year trying to have the building open for a cold cut deli and convenient store. Unfortunately, I have run into a dishonest and unworthy person who had robbed me of my time and my life saving money. Mr Thomas Gaetani is the owner of Grafton Refrigeration. He claimed that he and his company do pretty much everything. He got a lot of people working for him and he had partners who had license to do work such as General Contractor, electric, and plumbing. Bruce A. Matulonis is his partner who had pull the permit for him. The contractor License number is CS-071477. Since he pulled the general, I have tried to bring in two different independent license electrician and plumbing but he refuse to work with them. He said it was his responsibilities that he control the work because it was in his company name. Therefore we decided to let him do everything. He charged for all the lisoenses to be pulled from the city but we never see them. I asked him and he would say he already talk to inspectors and when it is done they will come and inspect. This had been going on over a year now. When he took all the money, he had not come back to finish the job. Now that I have asked an independent contractor for the walk-in cooler they told me that the compressor and the evaporator that he install was not working. I terminate the contract with Mr Bruce A. Matulonis as being my general contractor. I have asked Mr Tim Berry to be my new general contractor. lam sorry if in any way it was handled very wrongly by Grafton Refrigeration and left me with all the troubles. I hope you would help me resolve these problems and help me move forward so that I can start open for business.
