O’Brien and others are accused of defrauding property owners by convincing them to pay for home repairs that were not needed and often not completed. He is also accused of misrepresenting the qualifications of his purported construction business, Traditional Masonry & Construction, according to court documents.

O’Brien’s alleged scheme came to the attention of authorities when an 83-year-old Warwick homeowner contacted the Warwick Police Department to complain that he had been defrauded by a contractor.

The homeowner, identified as Victim 1 in court documents, reported that O’Brien told him that, while doing work in the neighborhood, he spotted cracks in the foundation of the man’s home, court documents state.

“O’Brien informed Victim 1 that he was from Ireland,” stated an affidavit in support of the arrest warrant. “Victim 1 stated that he felt a bond with O’Brien over their shared heritage, and that this bond caused Victim 1 to ‘trust’ O’Brien.”

The homeowner paid O’Brien $9,500 to repair the foundation, but as work proceeded, O’Brien allegedly claimed he found further damage and asked the homeowner for $80,000, according to court documents. The man was set to take out a line of credit when police intervened.

A home inspector hired by the US Attorney’s Office later reviewed the property and found no need for extensive foundation repairs.

Court documents say other alleged victims have described similar interactions with O’Brien that began with unsolicited recommendations for small home repairs, followed by claims that he’d discovered the need for major repairs.

The victims included four homeowners in Warwick, two in Providence, one in Pawtucket, and one in West Roxbury, Mass., according to an affidavit written by an East Providence police officer on a Homeland Security Investigations task force.

Investigators say they found hundreds of fliers in the Traditional Masonry & Construction truck identical to the ones handed to victims, and they found four binders containing quotes, contracts, and invoices dated between April 2024 and March 2025.

The contracts, ranging from $300 to $205,000, totaled $1,987,650, according to court documents.

Federal authorities said the alleged scheme, known as “traveling conman fraud,” is becoming increasingly common throughout the United States.

According to the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center, conmen travelers are groups of residents of Ireland or the United Kingdom who enter the United States on pleasure or tourist visas and overstay their visits or, more commonly, enter the country illegally. Once in the United States, they go to different cities and states, soliciting construction work, according to court documents.

The conmen often hire day laborers. They lack work authorization documents and permits, and do low-quality, unnecessary, or incomplete work. And sometimes they damage homes, authorities said.

O’Brien appeared before US District Court Magistrate Judge Patricia A. Sullivan on Thursday. Sullivan appointed an attorney to represent him, ordered him detained, and scheduled a status conference/preliminary hearing for April 11.

The US Attorney’s Office and Homeland Security Investigations recommend consumers take steps to avoid being defrauded:

• Be cautious with unsolicited solicitations from contractors who show up at your door saying they noticed a problem that needs to be fixed.
• Don’t fall victim to high pressure scare tactics. Proceed cautiously before you commit to work, and only after getting at least one second opinion and cost estimate.
• Before hiring any contractor for a large job, make sure they have a legitimate business address and consider going there to verify that the business exists.
• Verify that the contractor is licensed before agreeing to have any work started. In Rhode Island, go to the Contractors’ Registration and Licensing Board website. In Massachusetts, go to the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation website.
• Ensure the contractor obtains permits to do the work from your local city or town before work begins. Ask to see the permit and verify its authenticity with your city or town.
• Don’t leave new or unfamiliar contractors alone at your house – even if they’re working outside. They sometimes intentionally cause damage. Keep a close eye on work being done.
• If you or someone you know believes they’re victims of the traveling conman fraud scheme, contact Homeland Security Investigations via email at HSINewEnglandVictimAssistance@hsi.dhs.gov.

The two town halls were the first the Rhode Island congressmen have held since President Trump took office in January.

Many of the Rhode Islanders at Magaziner’s event said they were afraid that democracy was dying, and they wanted to know how to stop it.

“I am sick and tired of Rhode Island’s delegation not standing up in the way it should as a progressive state,” said one woman at Magaziner’s town hall, her voice cracking. “You have a role to play in Rhode Island to do more and to engage in civil disobedience. What are you going to do to stop Musk and the oligarchs from taking over the very little left of our representative democracy?”

People loudly applauded. Magaziner, a Democrat first elected to Rhode Island’s Second Congressional District in 2022, said he was doing all he could.

“It takes all of us, right? We need to be making a case to the public. We need to be doing what we can legislatively, we need to be doing what we can in the courts. It’s an all-hands-on deck moment,” Magaziner told the crowd. “The fact that you are all here tonight, when you could be doing anything else, gives me a lot of hope.”

In East Greenwich, except for a Cranston woman wearing a Make America Great Again shirt — who challenged Magaziner not to criticize Trump — the crowd was overwhelmingly upset about the country’s direction under Trump and Elon Musk.

They spoke of the higher prices, the tariffs, the ransacking of government agencies by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency without accountability.

Jen Manzi of Cranston said her preteen daughter needed an individualized education program at her school, but the Department of Education was being cut. She feared she would fall behind in school.

“I’m worried about my kid’s rights, and right now, they’re under attack,” Manzi said, beginning to cry.

The cuts made by DOGE are short-sighted for all Americans, Suzanne Colby, a Warwick resident and a research professor at Brown University, told Magaziner.

Her work involves studying the impact of tobacco products on young people, with funding from the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Tobacco Products. It’s the kind of research that led to the FDA’s ban of sweet-flavored vaping products for teens, which the Supreme Court upheld on Wednesday.

But the FDA has been cut, and with it, the funding that scientists like Colby rely on. In the long run, this loss and others will impact people’s lives, and that’s not a partisan issue, she said.

“I think there’s an element missing from the public discourse, and that is the cuts that DOGE is making — education, libraries, health and human services, the CDC, FDA, NIH — are going to cost more than they save,” Colby said. “Because they’re preventative in nature, because they protect our public health and help our children thrive and grow and succeed, we will spend more because these cuts are being made.”

Magaziner said he’d called the president of Brown University after hearing about funding cuts. He said he’d spoken to Textron and Electric Boat about how the tariffs were going to effect them.

He urged people to stay informed and engaged, and to keep speaking out.

“We’re living in truly unprecedented times,” Magaziner said, “because in my view President Trump is taking an alarming array of actions to expand his own executive power at the expense of checks and balances that our country is founded on.”

At Amo’s town hall in East Providence, Neronha told hundreds of people packed into the school auditorium that “more lawsuits are coming.”

Neronha, alongside dozens of other attorneys general, have filed numerous lawsuits against Trump policies that have resulted in court injunctions. “What we have done is effectively stopped the administration in its tracks.”

Al Soares, a 74-year-old lifelong East Providence resident, said he was afraid of Medicare cuts. Soares, who stood using a walker, said he lives in an assisted living facility.

“And I thank God for it,” Soares said. “I’m petrified … if they take away my Medicare, you know where I end up? On the street.”

Other constituents said they were fearful of immigration enforcement, proposed restrictions on voter registration, and funding cuts for farmers, health care workers and nonprofits.

“I’m not a hair-on-fire kind of person, but this is unprecedented,” said Amo, who was first elected to Rhode Island’s First Congressional District in 2023. “This is not normal.”

Renee Boyce, 37, an unaffiliated voter, said she’s not happy with either side, as housing costs and inflation have soared.

“As much as I don’t like Trump, I want to know what you’re going to do to fight about that,” Boyce said to Amo. “When it comes to DOGE, I actually did support government efficiency. Because I think there were spending problems.”

“Right now, we are in a defensive posture,” Amo responded. “There was a world where people in Washington used to sit and talk with each other about solutions. That is not happening right now.”

He added that Trump’s “stupid, boneheaded tariff regime” would further increase costs.

Afterwards, Boyce told the Globe: “These are dark times for everybody.”

Neighbors and retirees Judy Bessoff and Gale Dyer of West Greenwich came an hour early to hear Magaziner and said they want to pressure the Democrats to take action.

“I’m concerned about the whole kit and kaboodle, and the dismantling of our government without regard for jobs and lives,” said Dyer.

Bessoff said she wanted to know why Trump was being allowed to skirt the Constitution, and why no one was stopping him. “I’ve been hearing people saying this is not what I voted for.”

“It doesn’t give you a whole lot of faith in the government,” she added. “You used to feel safe and secure. Now, it just feels nebulous.”
