A local woman gave Trajkovski everything in her savings account. Her family is now trying to pick up the pieces.

I recently spoke to one of her sons, Bob.

John Mercure: "How much do you think your mom ended up giving to Scott?"

Bob: "Approximately $125,000."

And you won't be surprised to learn the handyman denies doing anything wrong.

John: "That's a lot of money. What did you end up doing with the money?"

Scott: "You think I took the money from her and I didn't, so..."

And there's another case that recently landed Trajkovski in court. And we'll tell you why charges are unlikely even though police got involved in the Glendale case.

Alta from Glendale has lived a good life. The 72 year old has a loving family including three sons.

She married her childhood sweetheart, Bob, in 1954.

Four years ago, Alta's world was turned upside down when Bob died from a lung disease related to asbestos exposure.

In his dying days, Bob received a settlement check. He passed away believing that Alta would be taken care of.

Bob, Alta's son says the whole scenario is sad. "This was money for my mom to be whole, at least financially, with my dad's passing."

Times were tough and lonely for Alta as she lived alone in the Glendale home she and Bob had shared. Last spring she needed some work done and hired a handyman; Scott Trajkovski.

The family says once the work was completed the 35 year old handyman continued to hang out with the 71 year old widow. The family says he eventually drained her savings account. It angers Bob.

"In order to get the money he would leave my mom letters in the house... 'I need money to stay out of jail. I need money because my parents don't take care of me.'"

Bob showed us copies of the checks Alta wrote to Trajkovski. The list is astonishing. Bob:"11,000 November, $8,200 December, $2,300 December."

There was even a money market account check for $32,000.

The whole thing leaves Alta's son Bob saddened. "Some days it just seems a bit unreal that this actually occurred... that he was actually doing this to my mom."

We decided to pay Trajkovski a visit. We caught up with him outside his Waukesha County home.

John Mercure: "Her family's upset because she gave you like over $100,000."

Scott Trajkovski: "That's not true."

It is true. We have copies of the checks.

John Mercure: "We have canceled checks that she wrote you for $10,000, $15,000, $32,000 cashiers check."

Scott Trajkovski: "That was for stuff that I did and was doing at her house."

John Mercure: "So you did $100,000 worth of work for this elderly woman?"

Scott Trajkovski: "I did work for her, yes."

John Mercure: "$100,000 worth?"

Scott Trajkovski: "It was incomplete because they told me not to start... do anymore."

Alta's son Bob told us it's just not true. "My mother's savings account went from $100,000 down to nothing and Scott kept asking for money and she told him, 'I don't have anymore money to give you.' But he kept asking, kept asking and leaving letters."

Glendale Detective Bryan Bichler is looking into the matter. "We arrest people who steal $30 worth of merchandise from a store and if they do that repeatedly they can spend some serious time in jail. This gentleman received over $100,000 in money simply because he kept coming around and asking and found a person willing to give it to him."

Criminal charges are unlikely. The family admits that Alta gave the money freely. But they're upset because they believe that it was a slick talking young man who tapped into an elderly woman's loneliness and used that to clean out her bank account. "Somebody elderly who's lost their life partner, their lifelong partner. They're really lonely and he came in and took advantage of that," Bob told us.

Trajkovski has a long history of not being very good with or doing the right thing with other people's money. We discovered a Menomonee Falls homeowner gave him $2,500 to do landscaping and other yard work. Some of the tasks were started. None of them were ever completed.

As a result, Trajkovski was charged with a felony and was recently in court on the matter.

Just last month Trajkovski plead guilty to misdemeanor theft. And he is very familiar with the Wisconsin court system.

His contact with the courts goes back more than 15 years; including an incident with 71 year old Melvin Brkich. In 2006, a judge ruled that Trajkovski must repay Brkich more than $48,000.

And Brkich's lawyer Eric von Helms recently told me, "This is so disturbing because Scott clearly targeted and took advantage of my client because he was elderly."

Von Helms told me that Trajkovski has not repaid the money.

And Bob believes his family will never see any of the money his mother gave away.

"The frustrating thing is that he's hurt us. We'll get through it. My mom's not harmed physically. Financially she'll be ok. But he's going to do it again and again. And that's the part that's frustrating," he told us.

John Mercure: "People are going to see this and think that you're taking advantage of the elderly."

Scott Trajkovski: "And you're wrong."

Trajkovski is now on for probation for last month's theft conviction we told you about. As a result, the courts have ruled that he can no longer run his own business.

But that comes too late for those families who are out the money that he has walked away with.
