It's obvious this guy is a scumbag.£600 to empty some gutters and driving him to the post office to withdraw the money?

Yes some of us earn £80-£120 an hour (occasionally) cleaning windows but it's far from preying on  elderly folk and charging extortionate prices...

The reason why he's done over 100,000 miles in a year is he s obviously driving all over the country ripping people off.... ::)roll

Could be innocent.

Quote old chap £600 to do a job

The daft git accepts

You do the job ask for the money

Oh sorry no cash on me I'll have to go to the bank

Not to worry I'll give you a lift

Oh thanks that's much appreciated.

To me it depends what actually happened here otherwise are we calling all quotes what we deem high a crime?

I've been called a rip off before when I've quoted £12 for a semi but they have a choice.

I always think we need to be careful with posts like these.

I’m not saying this is the case….. but imagine if this is someone out on Farcebook to slander another local company and give them a bad name. How do we know this is all the truth?

It could really ruin someone’s reputation if this is all lies.

I’m not saying this is the case, but imagine if someone wanted to take a picture of your van, set up a fake farcebook profile and spread these posts around. It wouldn’t be hard.

hopefully not.....if he's done over 100,000 miles in a year that's suspicious in itself

The Internet is a very powerful tool, and a very frightening one in the wrong hands, let's hope the original source is being 100% honest and accurate.... one post and the lynch mobs looking for a rope.

I know of someone locally who got sent to prison for 2 years for doing illegal vehicle searches on police computers for “mates”.

Quite right too.

Really? - what proof have you got Daz ? - no one knows what size of house is was for - had fun they were - what access there was and maybe there were repairs done as well.

One post from a disgruntled relative and you hang some one out to dry without any evidence or listening to the other side of the story

Its funny, you bang on about record weeks 5* holidays - perhaps you are overcharging ? - would you like others to put you in the bracket of scumbag ??

How many thread have there been where its I put in a really high price   not to get the work - then get it and do it ? loads

The only wrong that I can see (if true) is taking the customer down to the post office to get the cash - Thats a No NO whatever the situation (with bank transfer/cards etc)

If and when some real proof comes along I think its better to keep an open mind....

I wouldn't because ive seen the way you've improved yourself over the last 12 years..

but you do suffer envy of others when they for example earn x more than you p/h or price a job up more than you think its worth..

Could have been a change of speedometer with a second hand one from a breakers yard.
It used to work this way at one time with a digital speedometer. If he replaced his Speedo with a used one showing lower mileage, the ECU would update the Speedo with the right current mileage. If the Speedo he used registered a higher mileage, then nothing would happen.

I do not suffer from envy of others who charge more at all...I'm happy with my lot mate...

What I don't like is someone clearly ripping an elderly person off whether they agreed to it or not.they obviously have no moral compass.

You don’t know that from one ranting post

Clearly if he gets several complaints then absolutely he would quite rightly get all he deserves

What’s wrong with offering him a lift to the post office maybe he didn’t want him to have to get the bus 🚌 🤣🤣,in all seriousness it’s like taking sweets from a baby in a lot of cases they should take that in to account at court.

The mileage is more than like to  a mistake on the mot ticket, I had a partner van mot done a few years ago the mileage was 76k odd but on mot ticket it had 176k odd the following year it had correct mileage on 86k

No 60 plate is doing 100k in a year

My poor old mum and dad are dead now, but if that had been them I'd have phoned him booked a quote at any old address and when he turned up I'd have smashed his legs to bits with a  pickaxe handle and then ped on him piece of poop.
