One woman whose husband was dying in hospital was callously threatened after she tried to postpone the fitting of windows because her husband was close to death, Hull Crown Court heard. The customers were "cold called" and tricked into thinking that they were eligible for Government scrappage grants but they were put under pressure to pay large deposits that they never got back.

A "cowboy" windows company that targeted people in the Beverley area left trusting customers out of pocket by a total of nearly £100,000 – and often left their homes a "mess" after poor-quality work.
