NY AG Hits Heating Contractor With Civil Suit For Pocketing Customer Cash Without Doing Work

From the Office of the New York State Attorney General:

• Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo announced that his office has sued a Buffalo-area heating and cooling contractor who defrauded consumers out of thousands of dollars. The Attorney General is seeking restitution for consumers and penalties and costs against the contractor. [...] As alleged in the suit, Daniel Myers, 45, of Hunt St. in Buffalo required customers to make advance payments to install furnaces. However, he repeatedly failed to provide the work for which he had been paid, and he failed to deposit the advance payments into a trust account, as required by New York State law. The Attorney General’s suit seeks to bar Myers from the home improvement business until he posts a $20,000 performance bond.

Past customers of Myers who believe they may have been victims of similar actions should contact the Attorney General’s Buffalo Regional Office at 716-853-8400.
