Contractor repeatedly commits fraud

Contractor repeatedly commits fraud

The Issue

Contractor repeatedly commits fraud and is still on the loose. This contractor pretends to be very helpful and instead runs off with your money.  He said that he needed the money up front to buy materials to build a septic for my property and every time I went to check on how the septic was coming along, there would be nothing done. He would continue to make excuses, that he was too busy or that the weather wasn't good. He constantly changes his business company name to scam more people out of their money. He filed for bankruptcy and moved so that the people he scammed would have a hard time getting their money back. It has been over 4 years and he did not do anything to build a septic. When he moved, he never even attempted to contact us. He just took my money and left. The state law requires contractors to keep records proving a customer's money is spent only on their project. If a contractor repeatedly breaks that law, why is there no action from the Attorney General? Executive Law §63(12) authorizes the attorney general to bring a special proceeding against a person or business committing repeated or persistent fraudulent or illegal acts. Please sign this petition so that we can prevent others from getting scammed by this contractor.
