Nearly a dozen victims said a Carbon County, Pennsylvania builder took their money and failed to build the home of their dreams.
The alleged victims said they shelled out tens of thousands of dollars, but instead of a home, they say they received excuse after excuse.
Lippincott said he and his wife recently retired and were set to build their twilight year's home in Penn Forest Township. "He didn't have any homes to show us that he had done because he said he was new in the area," added Karen Moquin.After receiving complaints, the bank did its own investigation and the buyers soon got alarming news."So the bank closed out our loan and said good luck, you still owe $20,000. Figure out how you're going to pay us back," said Moquin.
