Dodgy builder

Gail from Central Whangarei

This guy calls himself a builder.. Says he has a building company with 26 workers yet rips off a recently widowed woman who foolishly, when he asked her, paid him for a job before he had started. He asked for the money up front on the pretense of needing for materials. After 2 months of stringing me along with the most ridiculous stories..bank made a mistake and put money in wrong account.. all bar 3 of his workers were sick with flu! I am left with taking him to court. Turns out he doesn't own any building company and probably is not even a builder.
This has been very stressful for me and I debated posting this but I would say I am more than likely not the first person he has done this to so to prevent if I can, others falling for his lies and scams I decided I will. The scum bags name is Scott Fraser.. I think originally from Christchurch. He went on holiday on my money to Christchurch just after he received it!! He was sposed to be working on my job☹️ He even had a company going through their accounts because he said he had put the money into their account for the materials.. But oh no..his bank made a mistake and deposited into wrong account! Another lie.. now he's saying he's reordered through ANOTHER company!! Huh?? Just give me my money back..

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
