Two males called at a property in Southport offering to do work on the roof. The female resident agreed to allow them to fix some tiles and guttering for her after agreeing on a price of £140. Neighbours became suspicious and reported the incident to the Police. When asked the males were unable to provide any paperwork or receipts.
After the men had cemented just 2 tiles the resident told them she no longer wanted them to work for her and they left. However the following day they returned and demanded the full payment. Because she felt intimidated she paid them the full amount. Another resident was asked by the same men to pay £1,000 upfront for materials.
