I put a post on here earlier in the year asking for someone to quote for balustrades and tiling to my garden in Lomas De Cabo Roig, I paid for the materials and now all my emails are being ignored. I just want the job done.  Can someone quote me for the work, and can you tell me how to get my money back from the builder who had no intention of doing the work.

I had the same issue -  Rouge builder and never got my money back ... his name was not Steven Read was it?  I can highly recommend Tamas from la Zenia   He did an excellent job for me at a fair price and was 100% honest and reliable . He built a wall, shed and put in new bathrooms  . He speaks good English as well     I will send his details by private message    Regards  Yvonne

No money or work ever received  i W would go through small claims court but he gives so many addresses   Maybe we could do something together with the local police but I have a London address . He just makes constant excuses and then threatens me with Stories of his contacts in the U.K.

Hi Yvonne,  I thought he was such a nice chap.  I paid him just under £1,000  to buy materials.  He never did the work because of the lockdown then all I got was promises and excuses.  the last excuse was that he had broken ribs and collapsed lung and then said he would return my money so I could get someone else to do the job, but money never received.   Yes I would like us to join forces to go to the local police.  I am also going to report him to Alex so he is removed from this forum so no-one else gets ripped off.   I don't know how he sleeps at night.  regards, Jenny x

Hi Jenni   Same story with me   He did seem very genuine   Bought his girlfriend and son to meet us   Kept asking for more and more money  dada died  mum I’ll  back and forth trips to U.K. to visit mum    Said he would repay   Never got a penny   Have 2 addresses in torre del horandada but we couldn’t track him down  has copy’s of his passport   Also think he tried to hack my hotmail and ask for money from my friends but we couldn’t link it to him directly   I lost 6009 and felt such a fool    I’m in U.K. but tamas my new local builder has offered to help me go to the police too   Covid is just stopping everything    He was also quite threatening in the end so please get any keys back  and let’s see if we can find others he has done this too  y
