To save anyone else a journey.. I can confirm that the Copthorne Business park address on the “Alufoldz” website is now cleared out and he has gone.. having spoken with one of the neighbouring business units it appears he cleared out over this past weekend (18th-19th July) and I wasn’t the first person to turn up looking for him. 

Getting closer though.

Obviously we weren't the only ones who took a trip there this weekend.  Went to his home address and unfortunately he'd just gone out.

So he recently stole £1000 off me trading as Alufoldz and Jason King / James King. I do have him on cctv from my house if it helps take him down . Driving a blue M3 bmw

Hi David. I’d be interested to see that picture. We were conned last year by this guy to the tune of £5.5k. We now have a ring doorbell that we installed retrospectively. If only I had it at the time.

Does anyone have an update on this person? Was operating out of a Bournemouth address a couple of months ago, using the name Joe King.  Trying to help some neighbours who have lost a substantial amount of money.  Does anyone have any details of CCJs or court cases?  Thank you.

Report to Action Fraud -  use his previous name Greg Hames and current name James King.  He is known to Police and Trading Standards in many counties now.

Currently operating as Joe King of Bournemouth. Yes you couldn’t make it up. Has recently fleeced another victim.
please now report future correspondence to ben.lethbridge@westsussex.gov.uk at West Sussex trading standards

How is this man still getting away with it!!!!!

He (Greg Hames) opened another shop in Winton, Bournemouth under the guise of Homebrite: https://homebrite.co.uk - Search Google for Homebrite Bournemouth to see reviews - he also uses fake accounts to leave fake reviews
The doors of shop have been smashed in and subsequently boarded up so I guess someone else was extremely upset with him ripping them off.

Research shows that he still resides in Lingfield, Surrey, RH7 and lives in a house worth 1.5 mil (btw; he has many properties). Facebook reveals that his children go to private schools which cost ££££'s and his daughter goes to a dance school local to his residence, which verifies he still lives there. 

How he is not already 6ft under baffles me!

Recent photos of the said person are below, including a passport photo of him provided by another victim on these forums. BTW, this is a fake passport.

Sadly, most people will get their money back on their home insurance or from their bank and they give up pursuit on him. That and the fact that people don't want their friends finding out that they have been scammed out of thousands so say nothing about it to anyone due to embarrassment.
The Police, even CID and Trading Standards are fully aware of Greg Hames and all his alias names/businesses but I suspect that they don't have the funds or man power to take him down. I would imaging that their are thousands of victims out their, hundreds who have said nothing.

I like the alias "Jason King", conjures up the image of a 1970s moustachioed dandy!
