Plumbing giant A.J. Perri has been hit with a $100,000 fine - the largest ever levied by New Jersey's plumbing board - and has agreed to reform its deceitful business practices under a consent order reached with the state Attorney General's Office.

The deal, finalized last week, follows a Bamboozled investigation that found the company routinely performed expensive work that wasn't needed, incentivized employees to upsell jobs and used scare tactics on customers, including bogus claims that their equipment could explode at any time.

Bamboozled spoke to dozens of customers, along with current and former A.J. Perri employees, who painted a portrait of predatory practices fueled by a commission-based sales structure and pressure to meet sales goals.
