Rogue traders who mocked victims jailed
John Bray fell prey to rogue traders and said he wanted to warn others not to make his mistakeThree rogue traders who filmed themselves boasting about overcharging for poor roofing work have been jailed.
The judge said their "arrogance was notable" after they laughed at a victim they called "really old".Matty, 18, and James Rossiter, 25, both of Sambourne Park, Minety, in Wiltshire admitted fraud by false representation and participating in a fraudulent business. "Over several months you mainly targeted elderly people and you viewed them as easy targets due to their vulnerability and felt no guilt about taking advantage of them.""You knew the bungalows you targeted would be occupied by the elderly."The fraudsters would sometimes knock on elderly people's doors and tell them their roofs needed repairing, then overcharge by thousands.
"My wife got really down. She started having to go to counselling on the back of this because she got so depressed." They added that Matty Rossiter, who was just 16 at the time most of the offences were committed, was also the youngest offender of this type the body had ever dealt with.- Never do business at your door - legitimate trades people will rarely reach out to you first
Nick Holder, Wiltshire Council cabinet member for public protection, thanked all of the victims who gave statements.
