Yet another dodgy dealer

[GTRMAN]

Time to get a rant off of my chest,

So my step father has been rather sick for the last few years (heart failure) so as a family we have been pulling together to help support both him and my mum. I have taken a few months off of work to renovate their house and make it a bit warmer and drier, typical old state house, cold and wet. This has taken me a bit longer than expected due to extensive rot etc. but the end result is that they now have a nice place to live in.
But here is my rub, the guy that comes to take my step fathers blood samples has got himself a little sideline, convincing, usually, sick older people to let him paint there houses. My parents took the bait, paid the deposit and now three months later have seen not a lick of paint or prep. Usual excuses and now he wanted them to let him start at the end of January. Needless to say that at this point I have had to step in. Went and saw the guy today to sort things out (read get the money back) and it turns out that he has spent the money. He has been given until friday to come up with the paint he has supposedly bought, the receipts to prove the price he paid for it, and the balance in cash.

People who take advantage of trusting older folk make my blood boil. then again people who try it on with older folk with 6 sons between them need to find a new career...

To put things in context my spidi jacket has a 5XL tag on it. Don't get me wrong, I mean this guy no harm but will not be listening to any excuses either.

watch this space.

Line him up and let me at him! This is something really close to my heart with an elderly Mommy living by herself. Dirty, rotten, scum. Taking advantage of older people is so far past acceptable it is not funny. I have told my Mom that is someone attempts to convince her she needs any work doing she is to pretend to be senile and hand over my phone number.

Good luck with the slime bag!

Good son of the week award.

Well done.

5XL. You don't moonlight as the Mitre 10 mega guy do you?

[GTRMAN]

maybe I should try out as his stunt double

[Pedrostt500]

yell out if you need a few temporily adopted brothers, it can be quiet effective to have a few park accross the road from his house while you go for a quiet chat.

Good luck with getting that sorted, But I have to ask, How well does a 600cc bike pull you along?

Hang on a minute... so this guy is employed to take blood samples from vulnerable patients and he's using that relationship to rip them off?!

Have you spoken to his employer about this? Or whoever he has the contract with? I'm sure they would be interested to know what he's up to.

Man, people like this make me so mad! I also have an elderly mother living alone and she's exactly the kind of naive person who would get ripped off by these nasty people. Good on you for making the world a safer place for all our folks, GTRMAN.

My Mum was sucked in by carers "borrowing" cash not that we could ever prove it.I'm not far away if you need a few noisy bikes across the road.

Make sure you get a nice clear photograph of this person. Fair Go might be interested one day...

5XL - good grief what the shit is 5XL. I can remember when XL was the largest size you could get.

I suggest you introduce his anus to a 2l can of paint. If that fits try a 4l one.

I have a theory on that, back in the day XL was big, but that was before the majority of gear was produced in a country where XL equates to a 5' man weighing 50Kg....

and I am hoping for 10L paint cans.

To be honest I have only two goals, 1. stop my parents from being ripped off (and anyone else if possible) and 2. get the house painted (anyone got an airless sprayer going cheap?)

Eggzachery! Report this arsehole!

A lady used to come to see my nana - when she was alive. She was mean to come clean the house but ended up taking advantage of my nanas kind heart by sitting on her fat arse eating biscuits and drinking cups of tea. Then the dodgy bitch dumped one of her kids there so nana could 'babysit'

WTF?! These people are scumbags - speak to the employer and alert the ageconcern peeps too. Damn dirty bastards!

Scum sucking, bottom feeding arsehole! Get the dosh and then do as klingon suggests - this bastard will just keep ripping vulnerable people off if left to his own devices.
Technically it's fraud but the cops probably won't want to know about it, so dobbing him into his boss is the next best thing....or maybe a call to Fair Go/Close Up .......or (God Forbid) Campbell Live

I wish you all the best in sorting this.
