$ 316

Scam Description

This appliance company was called to repair a hood range over the stove.
The repair man showed and said he could fix the unit guaranteed for $316 with a 6 month warranty. He was here for only 10 minutes, then telling us to wait an hour for the unit to reset and it will be working fine and if not to call him and he would come right back. Upon calling to inform them of it not working the lady that answered the phone said they want an additional $648 to come back.
I phoned again in the morning to speak to a manager/supervisor and they said they could not give out any names and would have someone call me. No one has phoned me back.
Total scam!!!
