Travelling conmen offering to resurface bitumen driveways and car parks
Work is usually sub-standard or incomplete and at an inflated price
Warning to resist high pressure sales tactics and shop around
A warning from Consumer Protection that ‘Bitumen Bandits’ are operating in WA’s South-West following reports that they are approaching local businesses in the area.
A Myalup business paid the six men $15,000 for a new driveway last week and they have yet to return to complete the work. An Australind business was also targeted with the owner refusing to pay $20,000 for what he considered was unsatisfactory quality of work.
