Theif Matthew Taylor AKA Fenice Construction contracted with LUSH Cosmetics to build out store in Arlington Va...I built the store..I amd 6 other subcontractors were stiffed by these theives...I can be reached at [protected]@msn.com...
Cannot believe this piece of trash is still getting away with this crap. As previously posted, he took me for over $110K, and I frankly decided trying to pursue him is pointless - that said, now I see he continues to defraud others, which is just maddening.
At one point, he gave me this information as the firm collecting his parables for "bankruptcy", but last I talked to them they had never heard of him. Anyone is welcome to reach out to them again.

I also have a phone/text number for Matt of [protected]
At one point I also had conversations with people involved in prior prosecutions of him:
Paul Hanna, Asst. Cty Prosecutor, Cuyahoga Cty, OH, [protected]
Aaron Schwartz, Defense Atty, [protected]
Neither was surprised he was still fleecing people as of the time I spoke to them a year or so ago, and I'm sure both would be very interested to know of new instances. He should be in jail.
And now that I've found this info again, I will likely actually reach out again myself.
Good luck to whomever has the time to go after this... person.
Matt aka Namaka construction was awarded 3 projects by me and received down payments and never showed up and or answered the phone again. Stole roughly 90k from me. If anyone knows how to get a hold of him please let me know.

This SOB tried the same thing with our retail store in Cincinnati in 2019. An 8-week project turned into 5 months and ended with us sending direct payments to several subs to avoid legal action. He is a crook and a calculated criminal - this is a pattern over many years. The only way I managed to get our project done and release signatures on our contract was to corner him in person with our attorney. Run far and fast, he will continue to exploit anyone he can.
All,
CPM2022 is the PM for Milan Laser Hair Removal. I’m in contact with him about Matt. If you are/were a sub on any of their projects, please send me or him a message with your contact info.
Thanks,
Nick
My husband is one of the victims. I will be more than happy to share all information with anyone against him. Can you please tell me how can I contact you.
Adisa
I am currently a project manager for Milan Laser hair removal please contact her, immediately if you’ve had any issues regarding fraud or bounced checks with Matt..
my son did work at the store by the mall in windsor and his boss was a hired to do a job there. they cant get paid because his boss sent in for payment like contract says to do but it got mailed back to them as wrong address and the number isnt working.
My husband was his victim 20019.
Can you shoot me a message please? I work for Milan laser as a project manager and am trying to get a hold on this.
I have been defrauded by Matt too. Will he answer your calls?
No he will not answer my calls, he has blocked my phone number at this point.
Hello I am currently a construction project manager for Milan Laser hair removal if anyone has been a sub for Matt “Taylor” on any of our jobs and not been paid or had any issues with bouncing checks or fraud please contact me immediately [protected].
We have been unsuccessful of getting paid or any response. We just sent out a formal intent to lien for Milan Monroeville.
I spoke with him today and i pulled my contract.
Steven, are you a sub or one of his clients? I was a PM and a Super for Matt. He screwed me over as well. So I’m doing things in my own now. I own Jupiter Retail Contractors. Since this board doesn’t let us post contact info, go to JupiterRetail.com and get my email/phone number. If you’re a sub, we’d love to get you on our bid list and if you’re a client, we’d love to build for you.
Thanks,
Nick
Smart rumor is subs not getting paid or getting checks that bounce.
Smart, the guy is a thief
Do you have phone number for Matt? We are trying to get ahold of him. He screwed us on a job last year.
Hi everyone.
I worked for Matt for a period of time. In that time, I discovered that he screwed over both clients and subs. Basically, he signs a contract, gets his first draw, puts his subs under contract with a Net 30 pay term or longer, keeps collecting his draws from the client, and never pays the subs. He did it on both projects I was on. The second project he emailed us on a Friday saying he was claiming bankruptcy and then blocked everyone’s phone numbers. I was across the country and honestly, I had to open a credit card just to get home. I helped the client finish out the project to the best of my ability. But it still got delayed 6 months or more when the schedule should have been 8-10 weeks tops.
After that happened, I decided I wouldn’t be working for another GC again. I opened up my own firm and we actually pay our subs! (I know, it’s wonderful when people follow the rules, isn’t it?) My company is Jupiter Retail. Go to our website at www.jupiterretail.com for our contact info. We’d love to get you on our bid list if you’re a sub and we would certainly like to build for you if you’re a client.
Since this site doesn’t allow us to post contact information, I’d appreciate it if you could all post the project name and city that Matt screwed you over on. And possibly also post a screenshot of the contact info for the construction contact on the first page of the plans. I’d like to call them all and let them know what’s actually happening. Matt shouldn’t be allowed in this industry and I want to be the one to figuratively escort him out of it.
Thanks!
I am a business owner that just discovered I was defrauded for over six figures. If anyone has any information that will help me find this POS before he spends all of it, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Please contact me at [protected]. My business was defrauded of $45K last year and I'm trying to find him as well. I have done a lot of research and I would like to compare notes on how he went about screwing you over. He stuck 3 other subcontractors for grand total of $150, 000 on the project that I was on.
My team and I just got burned for $30K as the demo/framer/paint/drywall sub. The electrician got burned for $14K. Matt Taylor and Mathew Wolfe hired us through Namaka Construction to build out a Therabody in Westfield Valley Fair Mall in San Jose, CA.
If anyone has any legitimate information to help me track down this swindler and thief please contact me. I will be using all available resources to go after him and get paid for the work we performed in good faith.

He just sent me a contract for a small project in S Windsor CT. Milan Hair removal. I am grateful for running into this thread. This is their new contact info Namaka Construction, 1615 S Congress Ave, Delray Beach, FL [protected]
Is there any way you could post any contact information or a website? I know a growing list of people trying to find them, including courts trying to serve him.
[protected] is their new phone#
This website won’t show phone numbers. What project and location is it?
Namaka sent us a contract for a small Milan Hair Removal in Monroeville PA… is this definitely the same guy? Can’t find anything out on Namaka online. I too am grateful to have come across this thread before signing anything.
The contact info in email signature: Namaka Construction - 1615 S Congress Avenue, Delray Beach FL [protected])… no last name - just Matthew
It’s definitely the same guy. His name is Matthew Taylor. He operated under Taylor & Taylor Group when I met him. He told me his father in law had a construction company called Namaka Construction out of Hawaii. So he started working for them and eventually was on paperwork as an owner along with Matthew Wolfe, his father in law. I’ll make a main post on this thread asking everyone to list the projects they got screwed over on. I’d like to call some of the clients and speak with them. In fact, if you could post a picture of the construction contact listed on the Milan Hair Removal plans, I’ll personally give them a call and fill them in on the situation.
I currently am awarded 3 contracts for a Milan Laser hair removal for Matt Wolfe at Nasamaka Construction. Please contact me for more info.
We were awarded a Milan Laser hair removal by Namaka Construction what should I do after reading these posts.
You should run. Pull your contracts immediately. I have a lot of info on Matt because I worked directly for him. This thread doesn’t let you post contact info, but go to JupiterRetail.com and get my email and phone number. Contact me any time.
Thanks,
Nick
My husband was victim on same Mall in San Jose.
Ugh... we found this too late but my husband just got scammed out of $2500 doing a flooring job in La Palmera Mall in Corpus Christi, TX.
And he is using the Taylor & Taylor Group name.
Apparently, the Matt Taylor we are dealing with in Corpus Christi, TX is not the Matt Taylor mentioned in this thread. It could be the case that the scammer Matt used this other man's name to get away with more scams. Who knows... but my husband has been paid.
Are you still searching? I may have a lead

My husband had a horrible experience with this crook in California. Unbelievable that he is not behind bars.
He started project in one of biggest shopping mall in San Jose, CA. He had all falsified documentation, didn't pay for work, didn't pay subcontractors. He was sending bad personal checks
The" best part" is that Matt has never changed his tactics. He started with the same tactics in 2004 with Trinity Construction, that he continued on with MAZ Builders, and at least 10 other business variations. He's absconded with funds so many times I cannot count. He claims mental illness above, but it must be untreated. In his latest venture Taylor and Taylor Construction Group, he forged his young adult daughter's name (Mollie ) on the Ohio Secretary of State docs for this first Taylor and Taylor Construction Group, dissolved that LLC, and then opened another Taylor and Taylor Group Clothing LLC in Mollie's name a day later. I don't know how the AG in Ohio hasn't taken action on him. He has not changed one bit, he's a convicted felon, and there is aways some story about how he is the victim and "the construction game is dirty". Please reach-out to the Ohio AG and the Clark County Probation Office with more instances of fraud... and for the love of god, file criminal charges. This is grand theft, pure and simple. He has executed frauds like this since at least 2004.
He had case in cuyahoga county, and for all his criminal activates he paid $750 fine. shame of justice system.

Brand new company this year. Taylor and Taylor Construction Group. Keep your eyes out for this crook. Glad his wife left his sorry self. Still wish I had my $80k from him. His dad must be proud.
he moved to Beavercreek near the Fairfield Commons Mall
He has had our families money for six weeks now. Almost $30k after we found out he bid on our job using fraudulent paperwork. Only a small amount of work was done before he had us wire him payment. It heartbreaking because this was our life savings and we have two young daughters. It’s so sad someone like him is out there.
-Cleveland Ohio
Hi. He is a felon on parole. Please call the Clark County, Ohio parole office and report this!
He is now living in Fairborn, OH. in Greene County.
he is now in florida
He’s now using Peak Construction Group and doing the same thing.
You need to be in JAIL
I am sad to say I have known about this board for years. However, I want to thank you because without this board I would not have gotten in trouble and wouldn’t have found out I was Bi-Polar. I know that I have hurt many people and for that I am truly sorry. I also know that I have paid back most of the people who have posted on this board. The reason why I am responding to the board now is that innocent people are being accused of being me and I do not want people to be blamed for my craziness. Once again if I hurt you, I ask your forgiveness.
[censored]
yet you continue to hurt every one and steal
If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. I would like to see Matt Taylor go to jail.
I have information regarding forged documents as well
He's a crook
Our company was hired by Matt Taylor to do an interior build-up for the Tanger Outlet in Delaware, OH. He took off with over $50, 000 without paying. A warrant has been issued for his arrest in Delaware County and he is facing 8 Felony Counts for Forgery, and 1 Felony Count for Theft. He forged Lien Waiver signatures and other project completion signatures. Also his company at the time was Taylor Group (Taylor Group of Ohio).
Did you ever catch Matt
He also forged insurance policy documents, lien releases, etc while doing a job for me. I sent complaints to the state AG and never received a response. Did you get your money from this crook?
Here's his new ripoff adventure
http://ohio.building-us.org/401300-l_r_taylor_general_contractors.htm
Check your copies of insurance docs. He gave me altered policies from the company he embezzled $80, 000 from in North Carolina.
He has just started a new Company called Cayman Vegas Construction (http://caymanvegas.com). By my count, he has started at least 9 separate companies since 2007.
Trinity Construction - Urbana, OH
MAZ Builders - Springfield, OH
Coast to Coast, Garner, NC
Boss Building - NC
Fenice Construction - Columbus, OH

Currently Going threw same issues. Please help me by reporting him to the attorney general. Currently being charged with 4th degree felony theft and 4th degree felony forgery. Has operated under many different names. Has dozens of lawsuits by subcontractors.
He is buiding two firehouse subs in Oakwood and Kettering Ohio. Stiffing subs again.
I just painted an exterior in London Ohio for this guy, now that I'm done he is ignoring my calls and text. If anyone has info on where to find him please call me at [protected] Nathan Edwards
The guy is a fraud, plain and simple. We have to file charges. Since the fraud has been committed between state lines. Should report to the FBI. Report to the Attorney General of Ohio.
Now using ml construction
London Ohio
I Just finished a job for this guy at the Green Shopping mall in Beavercreek, OH. Promised immediate payment upon completion. That was Thur. May 2nd. Its the 6th now and not a word. Thanks for the messages on this guy. Not the 1st time I've been stiffed but now I can get the legal ball rolling on this fraud. Too bad for him he signed a contract with a stubborn ### hole like me! I'll keep you up to date. If any of you need help collecting from this guy, e-mail me at RBurchett.NCA@gmail.com. I'd be happy to help.
Matt Taylor, Fenice Const. continues to commit fraud by writing NSF checks and not paying subcontractos. So sad that there are people like this that give contractors a bad name. When we called to ask him about payment of the NSF check that he wrote us, he made the statement that "he had no idea why the check was returned because he had $23, 000 in his account and that he continues to have problems with the bank over this". LOL, he blamed it on the bank.
We are also a company that has been stiffed by Matt Taylor. I had a crew onsite at 3am for emergency response and completed the job over 3 days around the clock. I can not even receive a return call from Matt Taylor. After his multiple promisses to pay for our services. THIS GUY IS A FRAUD!
Agree, Mathew Taylor with Fenice Construction is a fraud. He goes from state to state setting up new companies, is awarded jobs, and does not pay the subcontractors. Subs should inquire about putting mechanic liens on businesses that hire him. Do not trust companies which run their business out of a UPS mail store instead of a brick-and-mortar building.
