Started watching it but fell asleep halfway through & woke up on the sofa at 11.30. Passport scam deserves Police action, the rest just confirmed waht you'd always suspected. The last thing I remember seeing was one of them forging a signature in order to meet a deadline to declare their INTERNAL results.......maybe it was that that finished me off ?

lol...i complety forgot about buying my last house! which is the point, i was happy to pay X and understood the "true" value. No one conned me and i was happy with my purchase and got on with it.

the issue on the show suggested the yank was being conned....he wasnt.

BOB.T

To be fair, he's a yank, I'd rip him off too!

However you look at that it HAS to be an absolute classic. It does make anything Píssy has to say, mild in comparison.

Ouch, what a clanger Tiggs!

Tiggs

but a clanger that shows it doesnt matter...no one has made a TV show about it because its no big deal.

i like to work on the basis that if you cant even remember doing something........it probably wasn't worthy a TV show!

Spoon

Nice try Tiggs but I think,

TV blunders springs to mind.

I understand now, you just cuddle up with the blanket and keep taking the little white tablets because you clearly have an issue with reality if you think everyone agrees with you.

Or maybe you are so embarrassed about being ripped off yourself by such a bunch of fraudulent muppets that you are just covering your tracks

post 2 - Totally agree
post 3 - Can't wait for next week's shocker ..Double Glazing salesman caught telling fibs.
post 4 - I think it just showed that all Londoners are selfish greedy *****.
post 6 - Not many suprises
post 7 - I'm sure with about 2 seconds of looking you find dodgy outfits in any industry
post 8 - agreed it came as no suprise.

Tiggs your approach is one of the biased estate agent.

Whilst not all estate agents are the same I'm sure that you wouldn't want to be treated in that manner.

Whilst you did not "accept", "agree" the behaviour your first post intimated that it's ok to treat other people like mugs and rip them off when these people rely on you.

It's a joke. Mechanics are regulated, plumbers are regulated but estate agent regulation is paper thin.

Roo, who regulates mechanics and plumbers, hard facts please cos I think you're wrong, certainly on mechanics.

Tiggs

it really doesnt matter what i think of what they did.....the issue is that they made a TV show about something that was obvious from the start - i could easily go into a garage (with enough time to try a few) with a camera and film mechanics doing equally iffy stuff like overcharging old ladies/making up number plates without the right papers/etc/etc.............and it would be equally boring TV.

out of interest...who was "ripped off" in the show?
