Beware! Read these reviews. Are they even real? They look fake to me. Mark hired the large company I work for to paint 3 jobs, and he has not paid us, even though he has been paid. I am a salary employee, so this doesn't affect me financially, but this evil man has affected me personally which is why I want to warn anyone from my experience with him.
Mark is the only client I have ever walked off a job site for, in 15 years of painting. He even called the police on us and has made multiple threats against me. If he ever comes near me, I think I would have to get a restraining order against him. It got that bad, and we are talking about a simple few paint jobs.
The money is the least of it. Working with Mark was the worst experience of my life! He is a liar, racist, verbally abusive, manipulative, Dr. and Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is bang on from the other reviews, I have read. Look on yelp. I would go so far to say he has a demonic spirit in him. And, I have never met anyone like that. He claims to be a Christian, but that is how he was able to manipulate me. Watch out! In the last 6 months, I have met other people negatively affected by him. You can even go on Youtube and see him acting like a crazy person. (Mark Hinkson calls 911 at occupy Vancouver, Mark Hinkson with RCMP, Mark Hinkson at Supreme Court)
He threatened to make lies to Revenue Canada against us, we have been audited several times and have nothing to worry about. He threatened us using the police and even claimed to have locked up multiple police officers. He says he will use the power his family has in the legal system against other people. (He says his family member is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of BC and has used him to threaten us) I got really freaked out when he says he was watching me and that wherever I go, he will be watching me?
On top of that, his Paint BC corporation is a facade. He is only a one man crew, and is not a good painter. I know for certain now that he cuts corners and everything about what he promises at the beginning is a lie. I feel sorry for all the elderly people he has ripped off and this review is to warn the public.
Watch out for this crook!
