Pensioner conned out of £6000 by rogue trader

A pensioner from Oxfordshire is warning people to be on their guard after she was conned out of more than £6000.

Dorothy Dainton from Yarnton spotted the builder doing work on her neighbours property, and asked him to fix some things for her.

The work was so bad, it had to be fixed by a reputable trader.

Dorothy contacted Trading Standards for help, who carried out an investigation.

Tom Mobey from Didcot was jailed for ten months last week.
