This woman seemed like a nice person who had recently had become a single mother after her divorce, and as such asked me to help her do her reno after buying her new home so that she could get custody of her kids. I designed the reno and had the architectural drawings done and did her estimate based on those and the contract was signed off. We were well underway into the reno when she mentioned that she had run out of money but that she was getting money from the bank and would be able to continue paying her draws as scheduled to catch things up, and I was hesitant but she begged and begged me to do it as she needed to get her kids back as she had lost custody do to her mental state. I agreed to help her out of the goodness of my heart, only to find out that she conspired to this purposely to get out of paying her bills and so once she got the money from the bank approved she told me to get off of her job site and then we had to pursue legal action in attempts to get the money from her to pay the bills from the reno. She then finished the reno herself as we were well passed drywall at that point, and so she is the type of person that is dishonest beyond belief and took advantage of people who genuinely tried to help her when she said she needed it most. This is why people have to pay for gas first now as people are willing to do anything just to steal $30 of gas from another person to get ahead, just like this client.
