The California Contractors State Licensing Board caught 73 illegal contractors statewide after undercover sting operations across the state last week. The contractors now face criminal charges for failing to have a valid contractor's license.
Officials used tips and previous complaints to help target fraudulent contractors. Others were found on various classified advertisements, Craigslist, Angie's List and even posted business cards at local stores.
