Same contractor scams, new names?
This blog has recently received tips about several business identities that appear to be in current use by the ring of crooked contractors who were previously operating as BuildTrend, Trend Construction, JD Kelly and similar and related names. At least some of the new entity names we are hearing about are registered HIC's with the PA Attorney General. The blog plans to post names here soon.
