I cannot remember the business name he tried to use because once my attorney got involved he took the business name down. He came to my home and offered a shower remodel but wanted to use my debit card for certain purchases and then used it for unauthorized purchases. Once I realized he was scamming me I told him I no longer wanted to work with him and he sent me over 50 text messages threatening me. Once I did a background check on him it came back as every single piece of work he did did not ever pass inspection. I now will not get my money back because of this guy and I am a single mom. Devastating loss.

I was approached by a couple to resurface my parking pad and fill in the cracks. The initial quote was $350. They used a watered down concrete paint, no concrete. Then the final bill was $1,050. I told them that I would not pay either of those amounts but only what the job was worth. I offered a check which they wouldn't take or look at but wanted cash. I said I had to go to the ATM they said they would follow me. I said, absolutely not. So they said they would wait. I parked my car down the street and after half an hour they left. However they came back twice last night and I didn't answer the door. They also called but I wouldn't answer. Most disturbing to me is that they had 2 children in the car. The windows were darkly tinted but I could see a car seat with a toddler and the arm over the seat of a child about 5. The woman said she had other children but these were just 2 of them. She was too old to have a baby. She and husband may be in early 60's. They were driving a newer Volkswagen SUV, the larger model. I couldn't see license plate as the lift gate was up and she stood in back of the car so I couldn't see inside. The man is about 5'6" with full white hair, dressed in long white shorts, white/tee. Woman was about 5'3" with blond shoulder length hair dressed in a long black pant dress. Both had Spanish accents. The man said I had loose roof shingles and offered to come back and secure the shingles and apply a sealer. He said his son who also does electrical work would help him.

I purchased a Groupon online for Air-Duct for the Whole House Cleaning at $81.18. When the guy (Greg) showed up at my home, he convinced me that I needed to pay more to get the complete work done. He did not clean the ducks (used a vacuum only) and left his the debris behind. Further, he asked me to write a review while he stood over me. It was very threatening. Needless to say, I believe this was a pop-up company and scam.

We needed a Viking oven repaired. Found Viking Repair Pro in Highland Park, IL, near us. Called number to book service appointment. Tech quoted us 2x the price of parts available online plus an outrageous labor fee. When we refused, he then said we had to pay $75 for his visit. Once he started writing up the receipt we could see that he wasn't even from a company called "Viking Repair Pro". The company that came to out house is "5 Star Appliance Repair" - a different company based in California!! I'll be completing the scam complaint form for THAT company, as well.
