I just received notification about someone else in Blue Ridge that was conned by Steve. This person is out about $70K and has been trying to unsuccessfully collect. There are at least 3 others in Blue Ridge that are out substantial amounts of money. Hopefully there will be some more ripoff reports created.
LEGAL SIDE NOTE
Did you know that if you have accepted a check from Steve and it bounces that it can become a criminal offense?
The following website has some pretty good information, unfortunately you do have to send a certified letter asking for payment.
NSF Checks
You can click here for a complete list of civil and criminal penalties by state but this is a brief rundown for the states in which he has bounced checks.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
Posted by Eric and Debra Andrews
================================================
The phrase "no good deed goes unpunished" was coined because of Steve Pannell. We gave Steve an down payment to begin construction on our basement to help him offset the cost of materials. We gave him a coat from our Goodwill pile when he complained of being cold but was to "busy" to take the time to buy one. Debra cooked a lasagna and soup for him when he said he wasn't well from not eating properly. Ironically the food was taken from the freezer by the tiling subcontractors he brought in.
He is a liar who has told so many lies that he can't even tell fact from fiction. His delusions of grandeur go so far as to ridiculously threaten lawsuits and liens on people if they don't stop "harassing his clients" which really means "stop spreading truths to my victims". Everything posted about Steve Pannell is factual and can be proven in a court of law.
Steve's last words in a recent threatening voicemail to Eric was "man to man, you better be careful". We're not the only people Steve has threatened out of desperation.
For those reading this, he has no intention of repaying the money he took from you, nor will he finish the work he so miserably started. He is not a licensed contractor and he, nor his associates have insurance.
