October 16, 2021 NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James and New York State Police Superintendent Kevin Bruen announced the conviction of Dwight Fiero, a/k/a David Fiero, 44, for his role in a contractor fraud scheme perpetrated against homeowners across the Capital Region. Fiero pleaded guilty to Grand Larceny in the Third Degree and Scheme to Defraud in the First Degree in Albany County Court before the Honorable Andra Ackerman. Fiero’s conviction resolves a 10-count indictment unsealed earlier this year, charging him with pocketing more than $50,000 in deposit monies from numerous homeowners meant for home improvement projects, all while he was awaiting sentencing on a conviction for another case.
In June of this year, Fiero was charged by an Albany County grand jury with stealing more than $50,000 from numerous Capital Region homeowners, between April 24, 2020 and November 22, 2020, while he was released and awaiting sentencing on an unrelated case. According to prosecutors, Fiero advertised himself as a military combat veteran on Facebook Marketplace who could build and install backyard decks. Fiero advertised his services under the businesses War Cry Contracting, Veterans Contracting, and Battle-Scarred Contracting. Fiero then lured unsuspecting homeowners who were looking to have home renovation projects completed during the COVID-19 pandemic into falsely supporting who they thought was a veteran.
Fiero was charged with soliciting large, upfront deposits for work, and then failing to perform the work or so poorly performing the work that homeowners had to pay to have everything removed. In one instance, Fiero enclosed a porch for a homeowner whose home had gray siding, but instead he used tan siding on the enclosed porch — leaving her with an enclosed porch that was of such unsound design that it needed to be replaced altogether and a home with two completely different colors of siding. For further details go to the Attorney General's press release.
