Con men gardeners

Posted by elaine day, on
You have a man/son working on your records as Mr. A. Cooper from Pensilva, liskeard, but when I first asked him for a quote before every job he has done in the year, never ever gave me anything, just a verbal one. He took for doing front garden over the £2,000 in cheque, plus other cheques. The Police have spoken to him, and because when I first asked him for doing direct debit he told me cash/cheque was only accepted. He does a very good job, but drives around Cornwall picking on vunerable people. I lost my husband, so being a widow, milked me from my small pension, and could not care less, just as long as his bills were paid by his excessive fees. He was spotted by a neighbour driving last week to Bodmin. He never has anything on his vehicles, nothing about his garden/maintenance services. He police have him now on their records. If you can give me a postal address, I can send you date/amount each cheque was for,. disgusting company praying on vunerable.
