I was also the victim of Barry Hopkins scam. Without a doubt the most dishonest person I have come across in all my property management dealings. He offered to do some decorating for me before the tenants expected to moved-in in three days. As he had done couple of jobs for me before, I trusted him and regrettably gave him £280 up front for materials. He didn’t show up and has not refunded me my money or responded to my calls and messages either. He lures you in his web with charm and reasonable prices and then scams you like any rogue tradesman. Be aware of this THIEF do not use him or fall for his TRAP.
