As they say there's one born every minute.

Who on here would hand more money over to a developer or builder who had screwed them over once already?

Thanks for the info PN. You could get a job on the telly, typing up the teletext commentary for deaf viewers. Or is that all done by computer these days?

I'm glad I didn't watch it though. I would probably have got upset - I hate scammers and seeing people ripped off. There will be endless stories like this coming out as the property boom unravels further. Plus, all the home-grown scams of companies like Inside Track and BTL frauds. Even if people have been naive, it's still very sad.

It is done by computer/software

And even so ... just because you can do something doesn't mean you can get a job doing it. First there needs to be a vacancy, then you need to spot the vacancy and apply. Your CV has to be picked for interview, then you need to be good at the interview - and it might be that somebody else being interviewed already works for them, or went to the same school as the interviewer, or they just found somebody else a bit more chirpy/pleasant looking
