Shawn is now Sean

Bill collectors, creditors and homeowners who may be wondering why projects they made payments for are not advancing should take note: Sean T. Gerety is Shawn T. Gerety.  He changes his own name, much as he continues to change his contracting business entity names.  See notice of the legal name change from the Worcester County, Maryland court below.

Sean Gerety (aka Shawn Gerety) currently lives on the beach in Maryland and drives a gray Jeep (PA plates JHV2225) while operating his contracting businesses. Gerety has used phone number 443-944-3838 recently.

When filing to change his name with the court in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings for his BuildTrend entity, Gerety listed two Ocean City mailing addresses:
PO Box 3219, Ocean City, MD

Trend Investment Group and BuildTrend Construction were two of the registered contractor entities he used in Pennsylvania and names he is currently using in Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania appear to be close derivatives of these names.

    He steals from old ladies in retirement communities to buy gifts and travel for this Romanian teenager girlfriend. Disgusting.

      When did you last see him? When did he take your money? Do you have a phone number or known address?

      I know a few people looking to track him down.

      Sorry to hear he's up to same tricks in Delaware now. Below are some contacts.

      Report to the Delaware Attorney General office:
      http://attorneygeneral.delaware.gov/fraud/

      Contact New Castle Co. Councilman George Smiley.

      http://www.nccde.org/498/George-Smiley---District-7

      Its public record that George attended the bankruptcy hearings in late 2015 and he probably knows law enforcement contacts in your state.

      Its probably also worthwhile to report to the Pennsylvania AG office ( 1-888-520-6680 ). Ask for the agent working on the BuildTrend / Shawn Gerety complaints when you call. Hearing they have a quite a large file and a large number of complaints on these guys in PA from 2014-2015 before they started moving south.

    Romanian girlfriend is Iulia Nicola. She attends a university in Scotland and is here as an exchange student. She also works at a bar near the beach in Ocean City, Maryland. Probably where he picked her up.
