A customer of collapsed building company Porter Davis claims he was encouraged to hurry up a payment, under the guise of a discounted rate, before the builder went into liquidation on Friday.
Speaking to A Current Affair, George claims he was contacted last week and was offered a discount if he paid money to Porter Davis by Thursday. Enticed by the saving opportunity, the father of four met the deadline and said he paid thousands, only to learn the company went into liquidation the following day.
“If they knew it was going to happen on Friday, why would you still take people’s money?” he told A Current Affair. “To me that’s theft.”
