Hi, I just wanted to warn other readers of what happened to myself and a few others. There are a pair of electricians that are advertising in the local english press that are scamming people. Upfront deposits are requested, receipts given, but the work is not done. They lull you into a false sense of security by doing a days work then never returning.

These 2 so called electricians, James and Jake (also calls himself John) state that they have been in the area for 10 years which is untrue as they have barely been in the Costa Del Sol for a year.

I just want readers to be aware to ask for credentials and not just trust receipts and invoices. Make sure they are fully qualified by seeing their certificates or equivalent, ask to see their DNI cards, take a landline number and do not give any money upfront at all.If its asked for then go somewhere else to get the work done!
