Episode Details

A South Australian family paid nearly ten thousand dollars after falling for a slick scam: “bitumen bandits” who showed up offering to resurface their driveway with leftover material at a discount. Under pressure to pay upfront, they got shoddy, unfinished work—and were then hit with an outrageous bill to fix it. Authorities are investigating at least six similar cases across the state, warning listeners to beware of high-pressure sales, fake company names, and unsolicited offers. This isn’t just a bad deal—it’s a classic bait-and-switch that leaves victims feeling betrayed and broke. The lesson? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always vet contractors and never rush into big payments.
