A Lycoming County contractor has pleaded guilty to scamming customers.
Michael Bloom of Williamsport failed to complete work for elevator installation projects at six residences and one church, according to the state attorney general.
Acting AG Michelle Henry said in a statement that Bloom accepted deposits for work totaling $106,860.
He did little to no work, refused to offer refunds and may have targeted older Pennsylvanians, the AG said. Five of the six homeowners Bloom defrauded were over 60 years old.
Bloom pleaded guilty to seven counts of theft by unlawful taking.
The state’s top prosecutor said consumer complaints can be filed at attorneygeneral.gov if you believe you were one of Bloom's victims.
