The lawsuit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court, names Moshe Kesem of Schaumburg and his two Schaumburg-based businesses, Warranty USA Inc. and Air Duct Cleaning Pros, the article noted.
Since November 2009, Kesem charged customers for expensive work repairing mold and mildew damage, but, according to the lawsuit, there was no damage, the article stated.
