Scam Description
THIS COMPANY HAS AN ADVERTISEMENT AS HANDYMAN IN THE MAGAZINE “THE HOME IMPROVEMENT GUIDE”
GENTLEMAN LEO WAS IN MY HOUSE TO GIVE A QUOTE TO REPAIR TWO BALCONIES AND FIX ONE OF THE ROOMS. TO START THE JOB, HE SAID THAT HE NEEDED $2000.00 IN ADVANCE FOR A PROJECT OF $6000.00. HE GAVE ME AN INVOICE THAT DOES NOT DETAIL WHAT HE WILL DO. BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD COMPANY.
HE SENT ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEES TWO WEEKS AFTER, AND HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO START.
THE EMPLOYEE DID SOME PAINTING USING THE MATERIAL THAT I HAVE IN MY HOME, AND THE PAINT IS NOT FOR WOOD IS FOR CONCRETE; THIS COMPANY SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH ALL MATERIALS AND TOOLS
I CALLED THEM AND ASKED THAT I NEEDED TO CANCEL THE SERVICES BECAUSE THEY GAVE ME SO MANY EXCUSES TO CANCEL THE SERVICES
