FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – A dozen victims of two pool contractors were left with thousands of dollars wasted and incomplete in-ground pools as part of what Flagler County deputies are calling an organized scheme to defreaud.
Deputies said the investigation into Crystal Clear Pools owners Romina De Longo and Carlos Longo began in May 2019 after a complaint from a customer who paid to have an in-ground pool installed in August 2018.
That victim said that by April 2019, only 80% of the work was complete and the company would no longer reply to calls or certified letters with requests to finish the job, according to the report.
By that point, the victim had already paid for 96% of the total cost of the project. [RELATED: How to see if a contractor
