Contractor continues to skip court, blames online romance scam for missing money
Included for relevance; source claims are not independently verified. This record is based on saved titles and descriptions unless a separate deeper-reading assessment is explicitly shown. Observation dates are not incident dates. An arrest or charge is not a conviction.
How to read this record
A Western New York contractor accused in a home-project civil case attributes missing money to an online romance scam. This is a disputed explanatory claim, not proved diversion/theft or a confirmed romance-loss total. Repeated failure to appear is not a completed appearance, conviction or sentence. The contractor’s romance-scam explanation is a disputed attribution, not a verified loss or established diversion of employer/client money.
Places in the available evidence

No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
