I watched rogue traders the other night and there was a "roofer" on there who kept making profiles on these types of websites, under different names, getting jobs and then not finishing them - often taking most of the money first. Non of the jobs on the show passed building control.

So either A) the customers were going with a guy with no feedback and spending 30k with him (can't see the point in having a rating system on there if you choose a guy with no ratings) or B) he had false feedback (or feedback from £10 jobs and then ripped off the 30k job).

Either way it proves it isn't fool proof and you can still get ripped off. If you build a presence yourself using your own website your customers can always check the age of that domain name using the governing body for it (so for .co.uk it's nominet.org.uk).

Just thought I'd say before I forgot about that.

Rogue Trader Geeza Dom searched a few of the websites and found him.

Even the Greek Biker on Rogue Traders / Watchdog has been done for benefit fraud now! What hope do any of us have?
