An Oklahoma City man has been charged with defrauding clients out of more than $39,000 for construction work that was never completed, according to the Office of the Attorney General.
Prosecutors allege Paris Bilbro, 29, contracted with customers in Lawton, McLoud, and Tuttle for roof repairs over a two-month period last year. His company, AMG Construction Group, failed to perform any of the contracted work and did not refund the money.
Attorney General Gentner Drummond emphasized his office's commitment to combating consumer fraud. “The attorneys, investigators and support staff of the Consumer Protection Unit of the Attorney General’s Office do an outstanding job ensuring justice for Oklahomans who have been cheated by unscrupulous actors,” he said. “This case starkly illustrates why consumers should always be cautious upon entering into a contract.”
Bilbro faces three counts of embezzlement and one count of a pattern of criminal offenses.
Individuals who believe they have been defrauded by Bilbro are encouraged to contact the Consumer Protection Unit at (405) 521-2029 or via email at ConsumerProtection@oag.ok.gov.
Every person arrested or indicted is presumed innocent unless convicted in a court of law.
