Tarmac scam target farmers in Hampshire

Posted by Landscape Juice on April 8, 2015 at 11:23am in Rogue Traders

A group of people are visiting farms in the Winchfield area of Hampshire pretending to be from the Highways Agency and offering a load of tarmac for an agreed price of £20/£30.

They then state that their truck is damaged and they need to off load it before it goes off. Once the tarmac is laid they then charge the resident/farmer in the region of £10,000, stating that it was £20/£30 a square metre. When challenged they have become threatening and intimidating.

Please contact the police immediately should you have any such callers to your property.
