JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt's announced his office has filed felony charges against a St. Louis County contractor.
The attorney general’s office charged Brandon Rusin, of Rocky Mount, Missouri, with unlawful merchandising practices, a class E felony.
Rusin falsely promised a homeowner that he and his company, Custom Homes and Remodeling LLC, would remodel a master bath and laundry room, according to the charges.
Rusin received almost $4,300 in upfront payments.
After paying Rusin, the homeowner had to repeatedly insist that he return to his home, according to a press release. Rusin did a small amount of demolition work and never returned to complete the work or return any of the homeowner’s money.
After that, Rusin moved to Rocky Mount where he operated under the name Spencer Construction.
Anyone who believes they may have been scammed by Rusin or any other contractor should file a complaint with the Missouri Attorney General’s Office by calling 800-392-8222 or clicking here.
