A terminally-ill cancer patient claims a doorstep trader 'ripped' him off after forking out £2,000 to have his gutters and drains cleaned and his garden refurbished.
Lawrie Craig had a flyer dropped through his mailbox and after arriving back to his Newcastle home from a gruelling four-hour chemotherapy session, the trader turned up on his doorstep.
The 67-year-old agreed to pay £1,000 upfront to have his gutters and drains cleared out, before also opting to have his garden tidied for a further £1,000, Stoke-on-Trent live reports.
