The person in this story was charged with appliance repair scams in several counties in central Pennsylvania and several arrest warrants had been issued for him. While the law usually and eventually catches up with these people, many people don't see restitution for the money that has been paid to a fraudulent appliance repairman. We have heard of similar incidents all over the country and recognize that people may have a fear that the repair service provider that they are hiring isn't legitimate and is seeking to steal their money or even just overcharge for their services.
