Scam Description
Came to the house to clean air ducts and vents – air ducts and vents were clean, told us they had COVID money and we able to provide a “mold elimination” service to us for $249. We consulted with our regular HVAC person who said this is a scam, so we told him we were not interested. He charged us $88 cash and promised the company would send a receipt. No receipt, I called him back and he said they will send out, they did not. I told him we were not informed that if we didn’t need the service we would be charged. I had an ill feeling about this guy, his van was white without any company name and someone was sitting in it smoking. He brought no equipment in other than his phone and an iPad. His name is Jonathan. I have his Tennessee license plate ********
