Lige Bobby Boswell, a convicted scam artist/paving contractor with a particularâand provenâpenchant for preying on vulnerable seniors, has seen this movie before.
He knows how it ends, and yet according to court records spread over more than 10 years across the length and breadth of North Carolina, he continues to follow the same plot line.
Boswell picks out a mark, pitches a too-good-to-be-true deal and then proceeds to do a substandard paving job with crummy materials at an inflated price.
Boswell, of Walnut Cove, had a court date Tuesday in Gaston County to answer for three felony charges connected to a similar dealâobtaining property by false pretenses, conspiracy to obtain property by false pretenses and exploitation of the elderly/handicapped. Two more court dates are slated for later this month, one in Forsyth County and another in Stokes, related to ⦠paving scams.
