CAV Warns Country Victorian Residents Against Cheap Home Repairers Scam
He said CAV received more than 200 inquiries and complaints in the 2008-09 financial year, up 130 per cent on the previous year.
Crime Stoppers executive director Peter Sprott said “If a tradesman knocks on your door seeking cash-up-front work, don’t deal with them. If you need repair work done, find a legitimate tradie yourself, get competitive written quotes and check out references.”
