Ulster DA finds overcharging by Kingston TV and repair shops
Ulster County District Attorney Frank Vogt announced a Consumer Fraud Bureau probe showing most Kingston area TV shops overcharged and seven of ten auto mechanics did so. Using four housewives and a fraud mobile, investigators tested repairs and cited prices ranging from 2 to 35 dollars with cases of unnecessary parts. The DA warned shops they may face charges and urged state and local legislation to curb such practices.
