The Missouri Attorney General’s Office announced as part of a default judgment against John G. Adams and his company, A-1 Construction General Contractor, LLC. Adams is accused of falsely promising home renovation and repair to six Missouri homeowners. He took payments for work that he never performed.
Judgment
The default judgment means that Adams failed to respond to appear in court. As a result, the Missouri Attorney General’s Office now prohibits Adams from offering home renovation or construction anywhere in Missouri.
The judgment awards more than $46,000 to the State of Missouri. This includes nearly $37,000 in restitution, $3,700 to the Missouri Merchandising Practices Revolving Fund, and $6,000 in civil penalties.
Attorney General Bailey said,
As long as I’m Attorney General, my office will always pursue those who attempt to rip off Missouri consumers [1].
Bailey encourages Missourians who have been scammed by contractors to file a complaint with his office. They can call the consumer protection hotline at 800-392-8222 or submit a complaint online.
