A renovation coach in France has allegedly scammed dozens of homeowners in Île-de-France and Nouvelle-Aquitaine out of millions of euros, disappearing after collecting large deposits. Victims, including a couple from Bordeaux, report losing their life savings and facing uncompleted projects. With an estimated total loss of around 4 million euros, the entrepreneur is suspected of orchestrating fraudulent bankruptcies, prompting over forty victims to file complaints. Experts advise homebuyers on how to safeguard their investments against such scams.
