TRAVELLING CON MEN
BE VERY AWARE
Victorians are being ripped off by dodgy con men offering cheap deals valid for ‘today only’.
Jobs such as painting, roof repairs and sealing driveways are common tasks they offer at a cheap rate, often putting the resident under pressure to say yes.
Travelling con men frequently disappear and leave the job unfinished or of a poor standard.
If you suspect travelling con men in your area, call the national hotline: 1300 133 408.
