I have a lot of information on him which I cannot advertise. It is a matter of when, not if his past catches up with him. It will be good when tilers become registered as some people will be banned from the trade.

My friend and I were also victims of the famous Fabio Spano.
He came took over $5000 deposit from us both and then proceeded to delay the beginning of the tiling at both addresses.
The money was paid on the 19th of July and we gave up on him on 4th of September.
We have since been in touch with the police, ACC and consumer affairs .
We came along this sight and are blown away at the number of people defrauded by Fabio Spano.
Let's hope the law catches up with sooner rather than later.
We wish we knew about this site prior to transferring our funds.

Asked the money up front, which was paid. He never completed the job. Still trying to get our money back

On behalf of fabios tiling service:we have been working with him for about 8 month now and he always complete my jobs with no problem s ever

Contact Police and consumer affairs very helpful.

Fabio has owed us the balance of money for some time.
Unfortunately he does not have an ACN and I can't lodge the claim with VCAT.
Can anyone shed any light?
Thank you in advance.

this guy is a con artist and a drug addict.

I made the mistake of paying the balance owing for the job in good faith.
He never came back to finish the job. The grout used is not epoxy as agreed and the grout is falling through the joins in the tiles. I have a determination against Fabio Spano from VCAT to recover costs to rectify his job. Seems I am not the only one to be let down. I am a believer in Karma, What goes around, comes around.

Hi everyone do not work fabios tiling service he is not pay $5000 of my

He is a compulsive liar call the police and then take him to vcat

Unfortunately seen this after hiring him for a bathroom renovation its been a sh*t show. Wondering how other have gone about it. All monies been payed to unfortunately

Hi did the police help in any way in relation to the complaint. Wish I had seen this site before hiring him for the job

We are in the middle of chasing him too to finish the job. Did he end up finishing the work or he ran away? Thanks

I also unfortunately paid Fabio in advance for a shower screen installation, and over-paid by $250. He acknowledged he owes me the $250 but never paid it, and doesn't respond to calls or texts. Very dishonest.

wanker comment !

f*ck this bloke ! how is he getting away doing sh*t like this ! how do we get people more aware before we engage his services? thank god i checked here, will not be using him. maybe someone can start a facebook page that has his details on there to make people aware and dry this arsehole out.

Police have been contacted

Fabio scammed us - said he was going through a divorce and his wife left him with nothing. Took off with $2.5k, promised over and over and then sent text to state he was bankrupt. Wish we had seen this page beforehand. DO NOT USE - was told by another contractor that he is a compulsive liar and gambler.

Makes sense...you are probably his ex-wife....address is still listed on his dud invoices
