Attorneys general in Missouri and Oklahoma have started investigations on a construction company KMBC 9 Investigates highlighted earlier this week.Multiple customers say they paid tens of thousands of dollars to Amazing Structures 24/7 LLC or Amazing Moves 24/7 of Oklahoma but have no homes, barns, or outbuildings in return.At least ten people have contacted KMBC after Mondays story, saying they have concerns about where their money went after paying either one of those companies. The companies are registered to Jay Bowlin of Muskogee, Oklahoma. KMBC has tried multiple ways to contact Bowlin but phone calls and emails have gone unreturned. A voicemail inbox for a company number is full.Customers have told KMBC they have given down payments of 50% to Amazing Structures or Amazing Moves in exchange for scheduling a construction date of six to eight weeks away.Customers are left without finished work when the crews never show up or leave the job early.Kevin Grose, who lives on 10 acres in Pettis County, Missouri, gave roughly $150,000 to Amazing Structures. As soon as we signed the papers, that’s when it started, he said. Just next week and next week or a few days or wouldn’t call you back. And then you’d have to call him two or three times or text message.A crew showed up to pour a concrete pad for a new house, shop, and open recreation area, but left the rest of the job unfinished.Grose said the concrete pad is not level and is currently in a disagreement with the concrete contractor over the job.Grose also said his in-laws also gave money to Amazing Structures, but never received the garaged they were promised. He said friends have donated some supplies to keep the project moving, but, he is trying to figure out how to complete the job.Most of all, he wants his money back. We’re going to keep moving forward, he said. I mean, well figure out a way. A spokesman for Oklahomas attorney general said the office has received three complaints about Amazing Structures. Missouri has received five complaints, according to a spokeswoman for the attorney general. Bowlin is also facing a lawsuit from a company called Express Services Inc. The company, in court paperwork, says it is missing more than $78,000 for personnel and employee-related services Amazing Structures, Amazing Moves, and Bowlin have not paid. An email to an attorney for Express Services was not immediately returned this week.
