This article highlights an ongoing issue in South Carolina with a repairman, John Jackson, who has allegedly scammed multiple customers, including Bill Swope. Jackson is accused of accepting payment for repair jobs, including one on Swope’s fridge, but failing to complete the work.
Despite multiple complaints and even an investigation by Queen City News, Jackson remains active in the business, continuing to take advantage of unsuspecting customers.
Bill Swope, who paid Jackson over $1,600 for repairs that were never completed, expressed his frustration and emotional toll from the experience, particularly as he was already dealing with personal hardships.
This mirrors similar complaints from other customers, further raising concerns about Jackson’s credibility and practices.
Jackson has been banned from working or advertising in North Carolina due to past incidents, and despite multiple warrants for his arrest, he remains elusive. In a recent interview with Queen City News, Jackson denied wrongdoing and blamed any issues on leaks, claiming that it’s impossible to satisfy every customer.
However, inconsistencies in his business information—such as conflicting company names and an address that leads to an apartment complex—raise questions about his operations.
The South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs has been contacted regarding complaints against Jackson, though they have yet to provide a response. Swope has filed a formal complaint, and the case continues to develop as authorities investigate the situation.
