Scam
Beware of a scammer operating on FB Marketplace. Name is J P Duncan (Jono). Modus operandi - Has been listing a car trailer for 1250 dollars stating it has a current registration & current wof. I visited his address in West Auckland & found the trailer didn't have a wof. The person said he would get the wof done within 3 days & he would hold the trailer if I gave him a deposit. So I gave him a deposit of $400 (bank transfer). Ever since then he has refused to get the wof done giving some excuse or another & has now stopped answering text messages & calls. Also, he has moved out of the property with no forwarding address. He called once & threatened me saying his old man is a gang member, he is a martial arts expert & has anger issues. Wanted my address to come & return my money. No sign now of the guy & the trailer. Can't tell how many others this guy has ripped off. The trailer number is - P676F. Have his phone number & bank account details. He said he did fencing & decking in West Auckland.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
