BURLINGTON, ON

It is still happening.

Fast talkers taking advantage of people who don’t think through what people they don’t know are asking them to do.

On Wednesday, a Clark Avenue Gazette reader reports that a neighbour was conned out of $20,000 to repair a non-existing problem.

Our reader said he was “able to get the neighbour to his bank and put a stop payment on the cheque he had written.

“I want people to know these crooks are in town….An English man, “Mike”, & a Scot, “Peter” came to his door, & bamboozled their way in. They have what turns out to be a fake roofing company, & a great line of HOOEY.

“The police are taking our report today.”
