Craig claims they held on to the workman's tools in an attempt to get their money back but police threatened to arrest THEM. I contacted Thomas to say 'what have you done? I can't believe the mess you've made. He was threatening me saying he'd send people round for his tools"He then called me down. He said 'your boiler's completely knackered. It's a crap one and it's completely gone'. It'd cost £800 to repair it but it wasn't worth it, or £8,000 for a new one.
The Grandmother-of-two, from Gorton, Manchester, was approached by Dorney after putting an advert online saying she wanted a new bathroom.Mary said: "He's a serial, repulsive parasite - that's what he is. It destroys you. It's soul destroying.
Only stupid people give away money before a job is finished. Never give them one penny!
