A Toronto area man allegedly operated under two names and up to four different companies to scam multiple GTA residents and steal wages from workers.
CTV News Toronto has spoken to five alleged victims of Scarola, both homeowners and labourers. Due to safety concerns, they will be quoted anonymously. Collectively, Scarelo is alleged to have defrauded or withheld wages totalling more than $100,000 from those interviewed.
When reached for comment, Scarola denied all allegations against him, categorizing them as “false” and directing any further request for comment to his legal representation, Toronto lawyer Mitchell Worsoff, who declined.It’s been more than two years since Scarola was hit with two civil lawsuits alleging he failed to pay a North York construction company their wages, totalling just over $74,000.
“Checkmate has demanded payment,” court documents state. “But [Scarola] has either refused and/or neglected to pay the outstanding amount.” The allegations have not been proven in court and Scarola has made an appearance in a Newmarket courthouse to face the charges as recently as April.
