    This man Ronald Raney came to my house to give estimate on a project. He told my husband and I everything he wanted to do. He brought an engineer out. Had us pick out wall colors, floor colors etc. We had two other contractors give us bids. We chose th Raney’s to do the work. They met with us several times at our home. On August the 3rd we signed a contract for $32,000.00+ and gave them a down payment of 16,600.00. Half down, which is what all the contractors were asking up front. So we thought nothing of it. They continued to come over and let us know of the “progress on their other job” so we could have an idea of when they would be starting. This continues with phone calls of him hurting his back, hospital stays, daughters surgery, Covid, still working on the other job. December 13 we lost all contact with this man. He refuses to come to his door, answer text and phone calls, etc. we now have a detective working on the case. Found out he has an active warrant for theft by fraud in Omaha for the same thing and are just waiting for our warrant to come through. I also contacted Mike McKnight and he aired my story on WOWT. I just do NOT want him to do this to anyone else! He is shopping at Ulta and taking trips with my money. The detective was able to look into his bank account. It would seem there would be some way to freeze his account to keep him from spending my money. He never showed up to do any work on my home, he would not return my key. I had all my furniture in storage as he told me he would be starting before Christmas. He has not answered his door for the police or myself or my husband. He has two young children in his home that are supposedly being home schooled. The electrician he has listed has never heard of him and he did not pay the engineer who also has filed a claim against him.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    There are pending felony theft by fraud charges against him in Bellevue Ne and current felony theft by fraud charges open in Omaha, for the same actions. I only wish she had contacted the BBB and I would not be in the situation that I am in now.

    thank you!
