Investigators in Newfoundland announced on May 6^th that they had finally caught up with Michael Goldberg, who had been running from the law in at least 5 states. Goldberg had attended Home Shows in cities from Hawaii to Minnesota where he would take deposits for central vacuums; yet he never would deliver the goods. Goldberg also conned central vacuum installers for installations and would not pay them for their services. Most of all, unsuspecting consumers were bilked out of tens of thousands of dollars for a number of products.

The last we heard, he had headed to Canada, while authorities at the border were awaiting his re-entry to arrest him. The law caught up with him earlier than expected and he was arrested in Canada. Over the past three years, various dealers of ours have reported that Goldberg came to them claiming MD had recommended them for installation expertise. MD had spoken with Michael Goldberg at one point (he also had five other alias’) and saw through his scheme. He was officially refused business with MD. We understand that he did choose a number of other manufacturers to purchase from but would use MD’s extensive dealer locater to find dealers for his installs.

Thankfully he is now behind bars. If you have additional information on the case you might want to contact Police Sgt. Victor Quezada of Sandy Utah who has been pursuing Michael for some time.
