AG sues chimney co. for bilking seniors
Maine Attorney General Janet Mills is suing a Massachusetts-based chimney repair business operating in central Maine for unfair and deceptive trade practices.
The Attorney General's Office filed the suit against Lysco Contracting Inc. after receiving a number of complaints that the company offered to clean and inspect chimneys for $50 or less, but then told customers they needed chimney liners costing thousands of dollars that later inspections showed to be unnecessary, according to Capital Weekly. The company targeted older adults and allegedly convinced them to spend money for unnecessary repairs, according to the suit.
The company also was not registered to conduct door-to-door sales in Maine and failed to tell consumers they had three days to rescind a contract, as is required by Maine law, according to the paper.
