BUFFALO, N.Y.-- A Buffalo-based contracting company is facing a lawsuit from the United States government.

 

The Department of Justice announced Friday they've filed a complaint against Strock Contracting, Inc.

 

They're accusing three individuals with the business-- Lee Strock, Kenneth Carter, Cynthia Ann Golde-- of fraud.

 

The US Attorney's Office claims they operated a sham business called Veteran Enterprises Company, Inc that was controlled by Strock.

 

They say between 2008 and 2013, the company falsely claimed and received millions of dollars in contracts intended for service-disabled and veteran owned-businesses.

 

We've reached out to Strock for comment-- their listed number is out of service.
