June 1, 2017: I contacted Nicky Dubois through a Kijiji ad to build my shed platform.
June 6, 2017: Nicky Dubois visited my residence to determine the required material to complete the platform.
June 6, 2017: Nicky Dubois sent me an invoice that included the contructions of a platform and the purchase certain material.
June 6, 2017: I sent Nicky Dubois a $40 deposit by email as a part of the agreement to purchase the required material.
June 7, 2017: I sent Nicky Dubois an additional $160 prepayment by email to purchase the material which was not part of the initial agreement.
June 7, 2017: Nicky Dubois requested an additional $30 prepayment by email to purchase other material but I rejected the request since I started to have doubts regarding his reliability.
Since June 8, 2017: Nicky Dubois promised several times to complete the work, but has never showed up.
Since June June 12, 2017: I have requested a full refund of $200 because the work was never completed.
June 13, 2017: Nicky Dubois has agreed to refund me but has yet to send me the funds.
File a complaint also with the police and office de la protection du consommateur.
Ive also sent a message to revenue Quebec and CRA since he's not charging tax on his invoices.
Finally, post a negative rating on his Facebook page.
What gives you the right to keep a client's money paid for materials (that you returned or used for another job) after abandoning the contract?
The same thing just happened to me but we are out $1, 020. I am so upset as this was a dream of mine to have a gazebo I can sit & relax in since my cancer diagnosis.
Thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear about your experience.
Get well soon!
Did you ever get a reply from him? Thank you :)
No, he has ignored all my communication since June 30, 2017.
Contract was never honored and client was constantly changing size of structure, base and materials are there and no lawyers or court has been filed legaly, please remove all on google.
The people you steal money from shouldn't need a lawyer to get their money back for work never started.
I hope more people come forward about your scam so you can stop your fraudulent activities.
I disagree. He texted me all the receipts and confirmed that he returned them all.
This is him with another account or his wife
How was the contract never honoured when you were paid $670 as deposit & another $350 in wood that you said you could get from a friend that owns a backyard lumber company. That wood was to arrive last week, then you said today...shocking but guess what no wood & no refund. Pretty sad when you have to scam hard working people out of their money & to make matters worse a cancer patient. By the way the size of the gazebo was changed once & that was when we met the very first time to discuss the contract. I have filed fraud & theft charges against you & will be proceeding through the court system as well.
He used the same arguments with me to delay the work and claim that the materials were coming.
I will gladly be a witness during your hearing to vouch that Nicky Dubois and his company are unethical to ensure that he receives the right consequences for his actions.
Please let me know if you are still interested in taking legal action?
no complaints have been filed. work that was agreed was done, no one talks about how they waste contractors time spent ordering and shopping around for materials or how they spend two hours online placing orders at lowes or home depot which is time consuming. when you offer the greatest discounts available, it can take a full day of runninng around to different suppliers and going to their place with a worker well, no one moves for free and gas isn't free either.1 day of shopping and running for materials can cost around $80 to $150 dollars. plus when you give them your contractor discount, which no-one does. funny how so far only 3 people are complaining when i have 100's of other and more satisfied clients.
i think until such slanderous claims are proven and settled, people shouldn't be able to post any such notes against anyone.
You have admitted to keeping the money I paid you for material you later returned. Isn't that proof that you are stealing money from innocent people.
Now that this forum is active and easily accessible from all internet search engines, I hope that other people you lie to will come forward with their story.
Nicky,
You are a dishonest person. You ripped me off for a bathroom I needed in order to have my son at home after his traumatic brain injury. I was beside myself and you and your wife took advantage of me and completely ripped me off for $1500. I received nothing - 3 pieces of drywall and a cheap toilet that was not the one I even required. Because of you, my son was unable to live here as the requirement for him to do so was another bathroom. You should be ashamed of yourself. I have everything documented, including any texts from you and/or your wife, demands for money, etc. I will happily help anyone on this site to bring you to justice. No decent person would ever take advantage of those who are going through hell. You take the cake!
Has it happened recently?
Please contact me with any information you have for Police Investigation of the Fraud ran my Renonikko and Nicky Dubois. He continues advertising his services and defrauding people. email irinatata@yahoo.ca
Nicky Dubois and his business Renonikki also recently failed to perform promised renovation services. Nicky asked for cash on an ongoing basis for materials and employee costs; however failed to perform said services and provide for aforementioned materials. This individual and his business clearly have a history of fraudulent business activities as seen by these posts, which accordingly will be undergoing police investigations.
I as well have been swindled by Nicky Dubois. I sent him money through e-mail for material costing $236.32 and $50.00 for deposit on labour for eavestrough needed on mobile home that my mother lives in. I am a single mother working hard for my money and also taking care of my 82 year old mother's needs. After getting $286.32 out of me he continued to lie and tried to manipulate the rest of the money out of me. This all started 08/01/17. They have since blocked me on facebook and to date have never completed the job. If anyone knows what else can help me recover my money please let me know. e-mail joy.larose@hotmail.com.

This supposedly contractor made a contract took a deposit of $700 for a job he never started and it's now at large his name is Nicholas Dubois 1968, 50 years old
He wears a black toque and black jacket he is missing his 4 front teeth ( no I didn't knock them out) lives in Quebec Luskville apparently. But we tacked his address to 13 A rue des Ursulines.
Driving a grey Ford van without a driving licence.
Attempting to work in Ontario without work permit, tax number nor building permit from the city of Ottawa.
Manic Renovations can we diseminate so people don't get robbed by him also? It is basically theft. Let's try to catch this [censor], share share share. He closed his FB account.
Help the police catch him.
His Facebook is once again active, I wonder whats his add now...
His current address is 831 Kirkwood Ave, apt. 2, Ottawa, phone number [protected]. This may change any day.
He gets regularly picked up his chauffeur Barry driving grey van, Ontario plates CEAC 113, at this address between 8 and 9 AM.
He shaved his beard, but the teeth are still missing.
https://www.kijiji.ca/o-posters-other-ads/1012353762
I hope to knock out his remaining teeth. Scammed by him this week too 8/30
$830? did Nico drive out to your place to collect the deposit?
He is still active and defrauding people.
Are there any details on the open cases?
Can anybody confirm his address is still 13 A rue des Ursulines. I would like to serve him small claims court documents (not that I expect my $ to ever be returned).
Thanks for this thread, and keep spreading the word!

What did Nico get served with?
If you file your complain with Ontario Small Claims Court, you will have to make an attempt to personally deliver and service a court note, either putting it into defendants hands or dropping it on the ground in front of the defender.
Hi Folks! I'am the most recent victim of a $550 money scam by Nico Dubois. I contacted him through kijiji ottawa to have a deck built. His unregistered business name is "Xteriorworks" located at 831 Kirkwood. Cell # [protected]
My advise is to NOT confront him. He may be dangerous.
This cell is no longer active. His current number as of today was [protected].
Nico is back in business. Those are two of his latest Kijiji posts:

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-lawn-tree-eavestrough/ottawa/tree-cutting-lot-clearing/1377617805
It may worth to keep him busy calling him out on estimations in the middle of nowhere.
And you can reach him at [protected] so far.
He has new ads now.

Also he has a new number (but is actively blocking people)
Our little friend seemed to change his ways of separating people from their money.
He changed his Kijiji nick to "cash works" and steals in cash now. Why bother with e-transfres?

Interesting! ...how were you able to obtain those pieces of information? I got scammed $550 by Nico Dubois, he is a French Fraudster that needs to be sent to federal jail. I will NEVER quit fighting until Police do something about criminals like Nico Dubois. The Truth - police know exactly where he is, its just a matter of creating a serious enough case against this Scammer.

he has done this several time and will continue doing this, shame on the police for not locking him up for good...
he once told me his mother was sick and he cant make it,
He told me that his mother vanished in the house fire while he was a baby. She wrapped him in the blanket and tossed out the window. He also told me that his wife (see picture above) is disabled in the wheelchair, but apparently she somehow managed to meet with some victims. He could probably make more money writing fantasy books.

News for everybody connected to the frauds committed by Nickolas Dubois and his partners:
He is finally locked up for good!
He was arrested in January 2019 and remains in Gatineau Police custody waiting for the trial.
Nicky Dubois and his wife milked me of $1500 for a bathroom I had been promised. My son had been in a terrible auto accident when a car he was a passenger in, collided with a moose Oct. 1st, 2018. He was in a coma with traumatic brain injury and when he was allowed to come home from the hospital in December on weekends, I was told I needed a second bathroom if, when he eventually was released from hospital and rehab, I wanted him home with me. This is where Nicky and Manon came into the picture and made me feel they would bend over backwards for me. My mind, understandably, was not all there and when I normally would get suspicious and ask for references, etc, I did not. I lost money I didnt really have and received nothing. He even had the gall to phone in January of 2019 from a gatineau pay phone, demanding more money for a restocking fee of something that was ordered but was the wrong thing so needed to go back on the shelf. I told him I wasnt paying another dime as I had already paid $1500 and had received 3 pieces of drywall and a toilet that wouldn't work in the basement. I could go on and on with the bs they were giving me over the two months but it would be a book. I have everything documented. I should have reported them both, but what with being at the hospital and the circumstances surrounding my son, I didnt need any further stress. If I can help, please let me know.
Who was the arresting officer? He also took us for $5, 100
I just recently got scammed from nicky dubois and we should talk and figure something out !
We were conned by Nicky Dubois and his partner, Manon, back in April of 2015 for a roofing job on the family home. We also responded to an ad on KIJIJI. He presented what looked to be a very legitimate proposal to do the work and that served as a contract. He took over $4000 from us for purchasing supplies, hire help, as well as renting of the dumpster bin for the old shingles and garbage. He barely started the work, disappeared and never came back. We become very suspicious when the dumpster company came to take the bin away claiming that they had never been paid. The stress that we endured with an open roof that was unshingled was unbelievable. We had to hire another roofing company.
We filed a case with the Gatineau police as we were certain that he had done this to other individuals. The Gatineau police did nothing despite the detailed accounting and photographs we provided. They indicated it was a civil matter. From the date of these posts, it looks like he is still committing fraud and ripping people off four years after he ripped us off. The Gatineau police should have stepped in.
It look like he is now in custody - four years after the Gatineau Police were first made aware of his activities. I wonder if we will ever get our money back.
The civil matter is being resolved in court, without police being involved.
Not sure if our friend is still in custody. His Facebook account is active again. You can always say Hello: https://www.facebook.com/NickyD67
I think he is back at it. The most recent photo of him shingling is at least 5 or 6 years old and was taken from a video and photos he showed us to demonstrate his roofing abilities 5 years ago.
Oh he is active I was scammed by him in May this year 2021
Never! Cause hes out there doing it to me currently! We should all get together and send him a letter or a court date!
Hi there,
I am interested in speaking with you, as he took a lot of money from me.
I was also scammed by Nicky Dubois May 2021 so he is still at it
I got scammed by Nicky Dubois just this week! He came by for a job in smiths falls and took a 250 deposit without showing me his liability insurance and he acted like the real deal but truth is he does not have insurance and do not give this man your money.
I got scammed for almost $700 a month ago. Still actively scamming people here in Ottawa from phone number [protected].
Wow! What happened? Was it a deposit? And what are you actively doing to get your money back?
Created Ottawa police report but my expectation are not high reading all your comments. Yes 200 cash (for which he gave me “receipt” and “drivers license” and few days later $460 for material… anyway half of your cases looks exactly as mine.
Hi, any luck? He took over $4000 from me and scammed me,
Not even after money that much, I want to put him to jail where he belongs with other crackheads.
Hi everyone,
I also got scammed these past 3 weeks. He took $4000 and never did any work. I am left with products worth thousands of dollars sitting here with no one to do the install now. Would anyone like to connect on a plan to get him?
To get him how? I am in as long as it is legal...lol. Most irritating thing is that police doesn't give [censored] all...Therefore they encourage him to do that.
How can we mess with him without it being tooo messy and still legal - door to door near his house with flyers! I dont know ! Urgh!
Hi please contact me for his adress I want to make sure the one I have is up to date
I have his phone numbers email and an address - was thinking about small claims anyone else do small claims? Its only 106 bucks to send him the letter
What’s the phone number and address you have? Could you send me a private message
I also have his adress and all information. You can contact me !
And date of birth
I am his victim too. He took $1200 from mine
Sorry to hear. Are you planning on taking any actions?
Hi!
I already open a case with Gatineau police. Case number is 22-35080 and the policer is Fortin Philippe. Look like he re-active again, so please feel free to join me in this case. We have to stand up together to stop it and bring him to justice for his crime
I did too in June 2020 !
Hi I’m going in court against him soon , any follow up with u that I can add
A week ago or so, the idiot reached out to me over Kijiji ad to send him phone number to call me to do "repair" of what he already stole money from me. I guess he lost track of who he already stole money from.
He has fraud me too in June 2020 . Does anyone has his recent home adress ?
