They’re Baaaack – Bitumen Scammers on the Southern Downs

BEWARE!


Article heading image for They’re Baaaack – Bitumen Scammers on the Southern Downs

Police are warning residents on the Southern Downs to be wary of people going door-to-door offering bitumen services for cash payment.

The men have been approaching homeowners offering driveway repairs, unfortunately though the repairs done are of very poor quality and quite often not completed.

Intimidation is then used - demanding the homeowner provide an upfront payment for the low quality or incomplete work.

The men in question are described to have British accents.

Any homeowner who is approached by these men are encouraged to contact Policelink on 131 444 or the Office of Fair Trading on 137 468.

Further details on scams and how to protect yourself can be found on the ACCC Scam Watch website here.

If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day.
