Son of a gun began to get all emotional after he's offer was flat-out rejected by the old lady. Disgusting behaviour

Preying on vulnerable people should carry a mandatory jail term

when i get cold callers over the phone and the ask to visit me for a quote, i give them a false address way out of town, one even had the cheek to say he was taking me to court for the expense he occurred

what he is using to test the glass efficiency is an Infrared Thermometer. it set to fahrenheit so it reads the tempriture of the glass :/

You've gotta love companies who have to have 'approved' in their name to boost credibility.

No pressure . Just buy it now or lose it

Targetting the elderly and called AGES?

"We dont pressure our customers" Has anything less truthful been said?

Can't believe the way he spoke to that old lady ( I'm giving it to somebody else this afternoon) If somebody spoke to me like that id tell them to naff off and not use them ever again, so rude!

"Cunning disguise" *carries professional recording equipment*

I love matt allwright wat a brave intelligent guy standing up to these rogue traders I love how he confronts them and is never lost for words even with the most intimidating ones, he also has a great sense of humour what an amazing man , God bless him and his excellent team 😊😂❤

TPS really does nothing to stop these firms. If your numbers out there it's gonna get called regardless.

This happened to my dad with dementia. He was living alone and they got through, from Mumbai India. They then "im sure) shared his number on some networking site, my dad ended up receiving 5 calls a day from different scams....These people are sick.

Matt Allwright for PM

Has anyone seen White Gold?

Anything to do with Rick Goldthorpe?

About a thousand years ago, when he was a younger old man, my dad had a cold call from a Liverpudlian cavity wall insulation ‘technician’. He claimed to have a revolutionary method of applying the stuff to any house, so dad said ‘yup, I want to save money on fuel, come round’. To Guildford. Approximately 250 miles. Gentleman turns up and has a cup of tea and a look around, and then says ‘you haven’t got cavity walls!!’ Whereupon The Old Man’s response was along the lines of ‘you said you had a revolutionary method to apply it to any house. I want to see what you’re going to do here’. History relates that the guy drove back home somewhat annoyed.

My 80 year old mum had a cold caller on the door who pressured her into signing a contract, once she told me she felt uneasy I made sure it was null and void, I live abroad but made a call to the company in question, Zenith windows wanted to replace all her windows which were in perfect condition, I was furious they would do such a thing. Its seems any contractor working in the area take it upon themselves to knock on the neighbours doors of where they are working trying to get more custom, unscrupulous.

I once had some guy come to the door saying they were installing windows near by and our windows were old and they would need replacing, It was raining hard at the time. all I did was look at my windows, looked back at the guy and just said "Well, they still seem to be working." Best comeback of my life... and they went away ^_^... and I live very neer Halifax :P

Approved aren't on the Companies House website but Swift is, With Michael Goldthorpe as director.

It's always the directors who are telling staff what they can do. I worked for an energy consultancy out of necessity and if you give up after one call you get sacked.

well done watch dog,these are nasty people...

Are they related to Ricky goldthorpe?

Macklemore's rap career's gone down hill 0:29

Am I the only one who thinks that the man on the phone at the beginning looks like Macklemore?

I somehow don’t think that changing the glass of 4 windows would bring your EPC from an E to an A+... glass is glass. If you want an EPC of an A+ you’d better be prepared to have every part of your house renovated...

When was this show broadcast please?

the whole house can be done for that price & that includes the doors & window frames

I saw the presenter getting a piggy back from a man in armour. I knew then it would be Allwright on the knight

Why all the dvds the wrong way around?

I love you for uploading these, i have litereally wached every upload and dont view it on tv lol... Next time can u make mark sound really obscure by editing the context out of some of the convo? Love how you cut everybody off apart from him

Wait wasn't the dodgy gas safe plumber in another recent investigation called Goldthorpe as well? Not exactly a common surname. What the hells going on there?

I want a "Let's investigate" shirt

I liked what what said about seeking a number of estimates, four years ago we decided to replace all our windows abd doors, we had four windows and 3 doors. For our front door we wanted a stable door that opened half way up and bedroomj a fire window which opens out. Bathroom we wanted a patern class simuler to frost glass and a Rose on front living room top window wvery where else just basic double PVC windows and doors,, plus a knocker and we didn.t want a letter box. Knowin what we wanted we had a leaflet through our door saying double glazing at 50% off and that they advertised on TV, I don,t know about that I don't have a TV. We rang and they said they would send a reprsentative to our home, over the phone they told me no pressure would be made and we would get plenty of time to consider their estimate. Sounds good and when the salesman came he was polite, the funny thing is I told him what we wanted and he kept trying to change our mind, why I don't know he seemed to know our specification more then us. After he showed us through the catalogue he had with him and we picked cerain things out we would like, he said so you would like to go ahead? I said no we just need a estimate and I have two other places to see. So he worked a price out £7,500, I said i thought there was 50% off? He said that was with the 50%. He said if we go ahead with it now and pay a deposit he would knock £500 off. I said I never pay deposit I always work job first and when satisfied payment, he didn't seem to like that and by now I think he realised he was getting nowhere, sI am not a pensioner and all major work I have done on my house I get a number of estimates at least 3. He left and I wonder now if they had anything to do with this firm on Rogue Traders? However I did get a few more estimates local, one was £4,500 and another £3,995 with all what I specified and without 50% off. I went with the cheaper estimate not because it was cheaper but they where very nice no force and very happy to give us time to think it over, the other one they where nice and know they do a good job because we know people who had work from them, infact we know people who had work by both companies and where very happy. We agreed they wanted no deposite and booked a day to start, took them 4 days and did a fantastic job, paid them when they finished the work. I noticed upstairs the put one plain of glass upside down so I rang them and right away came and put it right. What I couldn't understand the company that offered 50% off where nearly 100% more neaerly double. Yes be very careful as now you can check on trust pilot and even today the company we used is a 5 star company, the other company I got discount estimate isn't mention looks like its gone out of business or started up in another name.

Ya man at the start looks like an iced gem sweet .

Something about the name goldthorpe

My parents are featured in this from 2018. My brother Pete did the interview. From 2.17 into clip

'Petes parents have Alzheimers' 'Petes parents have no recollection of agreeing to new windows' Yeah... good job on that one matt

This is appalling, can’t believe Sean Dyche would get caught up in something like this (5:11)

Why do Trading Standards not do this? Oh I see a letter is FAR more powerful!!

Go get em matty lad

4:44... I most certainly insist🥰😍😘😋☺️😉👍🏻😂 Extremely Cute!... (sorry fluffy microphone guy and stud on the bike, you’re both out on this one😉😂)

6:39 is that old dear watching NBA 😂😂

11:43 You bastard Gary.

i was once offered a job at everst windows, i went for job interview and turn out is no interview but a room of 10 all getting inducted, then guy says to tell people their the cheapest and can take there time and check because they never do and infact we are the most expensive. at tha point i said i aint knocking on old peoples doors and lieing to them an i left

Ah! back in the good old days when there were only 7 types of people in the world and not 100 and whatever it is now ;-)

80% TPS? That sounds impossible unless they literally have the list of TPS registered people unless like 80% of people in the whole UK are on TPS which seems unlikely

0:42 that woman is stunning!

Allwright’s got some kahunas mind 😅

Made a fortune in the 80s and 90s selling double glazing it was a good time

Gary sounds like John Cooper Clarke.

Gaz needs a good sorting out

Cold callers piss me off ripping off vulnerable people. Shocking. I'm sure if they see tps registered they know they are vulnerable so don't give a toss

MAYBE THE (TPS) NEEDS INVESTIGATING TOO

A double glazing office with a bodyguard.....ahahahahaha

Nice Reservoir Dogs parody

Dude's got one sideburn about an inch longer than the other....

There are two types of people in the wold the ones that are truthful honest and has a conscience and has values principals and integrity the other is deceiving , cheat , greedy unreliable and untrustworthy.

They should put the expert in the bait house and call the cowboy out for their lies ahaha

all goin on about paying tv licence just phone them and remove all rights of access to your property they then cant come on any property you occupied

This always a Gary 😂😂

fatty turned up quick

It's a pity some of the family who's relatives have been done dont go in there and throw the so called heavys out the way and then the owners through there double glazing .

Take their lead, any salesperson needs the door shutting in their face

So if someone steal chcolate bar in store they get arrested but stealing hundreds from pensioner is OK?

white gold

That guy at the end escorting out needs escorting to his kids house and mothers and tell them what hes doing.

Armadyl Godsword go brr

Just proves how the courts are WEAK in the UK there's NO deterrent sadly its a fine culture for the treasury and NEVER prison

Unless you want a physical altercation, imagine if the presenter turned round and said ye OK then. 🤣

The daughter or son has power of attorney. This means they are the elderly couple can not sign any legal documents are contracts. I will let them install all the windows. And then let them try to take the Alzheimer's couple to court. They have not got a snowball in hell's chance of getting their money back. Lessons learnt

Odd thing is i know Alex Goldthorpe

We are in 2020 now who has a house phone nowadays af got my broadband but don’t have a phone connected because I have a smart phone everyone has a mobile nowadays no need to landlines

Gary [Salesman] : I've just aimed m'ee Water Pistol at your Double Glazed Windows and it's tellin' me that you're LOSING 99.8% Heat. Vulnerable Woman : You're talking BOLLOCKS, you Stupid Twat. The Gun's telling you that I'm actually RETAINING 99.8% Heat because m'ee Windows are TRIPLE GLAZED. Gary : We can only do just One Postcode in the whole country under David Cameron and Lex Greensill's Government Con. Woman : Well, do your own Flippin' Postcode then. Gary : Just 'cos you wear a Heavy Fur Coat, don't mean that it'll keep y'a warm. Woman : Ge'rr ar'raaaa maa'aa Pub !!!

Did he say 26 windows for 8k? That’s £307/ window. That’s not bad. If they think it should be £4k then £150/ window. They still in business? 😂😂

I'd love to know what the joke was around 13:40 ha ha.

Wouldn't it be funny if some of these crooks got alzheimer's and were ripped off themselves

I'm sorry but if someone did this to my parents I would literally take a bat to them!! How low can you be targeting elderly people

What Rogue Traders don't know is they've got the complete wrong man who own this company..

a company from hell

Don’t want to sound like an ass, but as a Saleman myself, how are we supposed to know if someone has dementia or better yet how is someone over the phone meant to know? I mean you can’t just ask someone “do you have dementia”.... sorry but seems extremely harsh

Always let them get away

I done cold calling for a energy company. Its tough going, talk about soul destroying. Just try to remember there's a human being at the end of that line

VICTORIA 2 TIME IM EDUCATED BBC ISENT

keep away from system windows

KICK IN THE BAWS THEY NEED.TADGERS LOWEST OF THE LOW

Well they have been bugging them for AGES See what I did there

4 GRAND LMAOOOO NOT EVEN WORTH 200 QUID LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Goldthorpe is a popular last name for con artists it seems aha.

Why are bad girls always hot? 😉

That special gun he's using is nothing more than a thermometer. And you don't hold them against the surface you're measuring. The bloke is a clown.

He can't believe someone would do that to his parents but he's fine sending them to a care home?

I Fucking Hate These Cheap Pun's......

He was not very transparent at all We could see right through him and that price was shatteringly bad .

These are the type of people that took us to Brexit when you confront them they squirm

Cold calling should be banned anyway .

Truth is, the UK is so far behind in terms of window tech it's laughable.

What annoys me here is,don't hide there stupid faces, show them to the world. Make them look the muppets. Isn't hiding the face contradicting the purpose here. I want them shown so anyone else doesn't become victims of these sad individuals with no care for people but themselves

Wow, this one is really bad!

How does this work if someone talked as rudely to me as that guy did i'd tell him to take a fucking hike terribly impolite salesman
