WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — A contractor faces dozens of felony charges after several people said they paid a deposit but didn't get the job done.
The Pennsylvania attorney general's office announced charges against Michael Bloom of Williamsport on Tuesday.
Bloom allegedly pocketed over $86,000 from his clients, mostly seniors, to install elevators or lifts in their homes.
The attorney general said Bloom took deposits and provided little or no services in return. When residents requested refunds, Bloom refused to return the deposits.
Bloom has been charged with 37 felonies, including home improvement fraud, deceptive business practices, theft by deception, and theft by unlawful taking.
