MILTON, Ga. — A Milton man reported to police Feb. 23 that he entered into a contract with a company to install a pool but that the company went bankrupt before the project was completed and had forged a $10,000 withdrawal from his bank.

The man said he had paid the company a total of $160,000 but received a letter three months after work began stating a lien had been filed against his real property for a debt owed of close to $12,000 based on an order made by the company, according to the incident report.

After he was unable to contact the contractor, the man told police another company employee went to his residence and informed him of the company’s bankruptcy, that the contractor collected all the truck keys and was closing shop. The man said the employee also told him he was not being paid for the work he had done on the project, the report says.
