ACT Commissioner for Fair Trading issues public warning notice about landscaping and carpentry business
ACT Commissioner for Fair Trading Derise Cubin has issued a Public Warning Notice about Shawn John Michelin (ABN 31 797 518 270) for possible contraventions of the Australian Consumer Law.
The warning was issued following allegations Mr Michelin accepted deposits and then failed to deliver on landscaping or carpentry works.
Canberrans have been left out of pocket with alleged deposit losses ranging from $876 to $12,000 for quoted works that have not been delivered in any capacity.
Mr Michelin has advertised works in the ACT and surrounding region under multiple business names, including 1Stop/Onestop Projects and Landscaping, Limited Projects and Earthworks, and most recently Aplus Construction or Elite Concrete.”
These services are often posted from a business page to Facebook groups based in the Canberra region, as well as on Gumtree.com.au.
The Commissioner is urging Canberrans to be vigilant and to undertake due diligence when entering into any contracts for similar services.
