    Default Tool Alert - Dodgy Salesmen

    Found this story about dodgy salesman selling power tools for cash only - no serial numbers, doctored manuals, high pressure sales tactics. Nothing new, but worth a reminder.
    Cheers, Richard

    Like you say, nothing new, but its amazing how many gullible people there are.
    Reality is no background music.

    Got a write up in the Sunday papers too - it is an organised gang going around country locations selling generators, pumps and other tools for cash then shooting thru'. And once it gets written up once, every shonk around will try it - like the 'perfume' and speaker sellers that come out around Xmas.
