Description
Cowboy Builder Jailed for Swindling Family Out of £98,000: A so-called cowboy builder has been sentenced to prison for defrauding a family of nearly £100,000 for an unfinished home extension. Michael Parr, 58, received a two-year and eight-month sentence after leaving the Clarkes home in disarray. The couple had hired Parr to add a fifth bedroom and bathroom, but he abandoned the project after three months, causing immense stress and financial strain. Parr also pleaded guilty to defrauding another victim in Northamptonshire. The Clarkes hope Parrs sentence will deter future scammers, but they remain out of pocket by £100,000.
