Was doing a small £65 job in the old mill just down the road from me ! top floor is split between 2 penthouses,the normal flats are pretty executive,concierge etc very swanky and upmarket,used to be an old paper mill and printing works,late 18th early 19th cent,lot`s of old black and white pics of the place in it`s heyday,the phone number was St ives 2

,while i was on my way down in the lift i got chatting to a guy who lived in the penthouse,would i mind going and doing him a quote ! He had my buis card,which i leave a stack of in the local petrol station,7 jobs in the last 2 months from that !
The place was amazing,furnished like Buck palace,very very well laid out,amazing views of the river and open countryside,not a huge place but job is worth £350,i don`t hike my prices just because people are minted,as people with money can be tight in my experience..
He said he will call me in a couple of weeks time,fine i thought......My 6th sense was giving me the weird something is not right feeling,so i just got home and did a google on him....My god he is a very naughty boy ! He obtained 11 loans from 8 different lenders ,without declaring he was bankrupt,total of £290 grand for that,no monies have been paid back !
Then another one where he obtained over 400 grand from close friends,for phoney business deals,he also took money from his kids godparnets,and close family friends,for more fake business deals,that never came to light.He served 2 and a half years for that one !
Still no monies have been paid back !
I am going to be upfront with him and ask for Cash,before i go anywhere near the job !
In 2 minds wether to say yes when he calls !
