A 'cowboy' window company left trusting customers out of pocket by almost £100,000 - and often left their homes a 'mess' after poor-quality work.
A court heard how customers in the Beverley area in East Yorkshire were 'cold called' and tricked into thinking that they were eligible for government scrappage grants, HullLive reports. They were then put under pressure to pay large deposits that they never got back.
One woman was forced to pay thousands to the company when she was by her dying husband's bedside, the court was told. Another customer paid almost £20,000 but no windows or conservatory were ever fitted.
