Bankrupt 'lured unsuspecting consumers' Home detention for rogue RV
converter
A ROGUE businessman who converted vehicles into RVs but failed to
deliver finished products has been sentenced to home detention.
"One poor customer had paid more than $90,000 for the motorhome conversion of a bus. "But after frustrating delays and dodgy unfinished work the owner had to have it towed to another company and fork out another $80,000 to get the job done. "Despite his history of bankruptcy and being on a good behaviour bond, Smith continued to lure in unsuspecting consumers," Mr Kean said. He warned consumers to be wary if asked for large upfront deposits and to be sure to view progress before making any additional progress payments. Mr Smith has the right to lodge an appeal. His company boasted in one business directory listing: "Our incomparable services with the dedication and compassion towards marinating best customer satisfaction are the talking point of our success. "Within a short span of time, we have developed a huge customer base and most of them are repeat customers and referrals. "Our experience and creativity has positioned us one of the top service provider in Australia." BACK TO CARAVANNING NEWS MAIN PAGE No part of this
