A Fayetteville contractor was accused of fraud for not finishing the paid work

After receiving cash for building work he never provided, a man from Fayetteville is charged with breach of contract.

Pernell Junior Shoulars, 46, was charged after an investigation by the Criminal Investigations Division of the N.C. Department of Insurance with obtaining property under false pretenses and failing to finish labor after taking money.

The North Carolina Department of Insurance said that Shoulars, a contractor, allegedly charged $6,000 for concrete work that he later did not even start.

According to reports, the tragedy happened on January 19, 2024. After being arrested last Wednesday, Shoulars was freed on a $10,000 unsecured bond.

Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey cautioned property owners, citing the case as an example of contractor misbehavior.

According to Causey, property owners should never consent to work without first obtaining written information because there are dishonest contractors out there.

This advice follows increased law enforcement operations in North Carolina to stop these fraudulent enterprises.

On Wednesday, December 4, Shoulars is due in Moore County District Court. The public is being urged by the Department of Insurance to report any suspicions of insurance fraud or other white-collar crimes.

Concerned citizens can call the Criminal Investigations Division of the N.C. Department of Insurance directly or toll-free from anywhere in the state to report fraud anonymously.

With major repercussions for homeowners who spend enormous sums of money on real estate development, the arrest is the result of a determined attempt to rebuild integrity and trust in the contracting industry.
