A listener has contacted Ray Hadley alleging that rogue Sydney plumber Jason Aboukalam is still ripping off customers.

The plumber was involved in an investigation by A Current Affair, when four stories were put to air revealing investigations into the then 26-year-old’s alleged dodgy dealings.

Plenty of furious customers had come forward claiming they were “ripped off” by Jason.

Allegations from mainly elderly customers ranged from being charged $5,600 for a replacement hot water system, which another plumber quoted to be $1,400 to supply and install, and even a whopping $212,000 to replace a sewer pipe.

NSW Fair Trading cancelled Mr Aboukslam’s license last year in February and has since reopened his business.

He is now operating under several different company names, continuing operations as normal.

Ray Hadley has approached Fair Trading, who’ve confirmed they have issued a warning to other states.
