Scam Description
A Facebook profile pretended to be a neighbor in our Neighborhood’s private Facebook Group. (The group became suspicious when there were multiple other people within the group using a similar tactic.)
Here is info I received via private Facebook message.
His name is Robert Smith – His company name is Dust Busters Air Cleaning. My sister recommended it to me now. It’s been 2 years since I used this guy & my experience with him was pretty good.
Alright,
According to your 1 Unit house the price will be $299 for the whole package What’s Included In This Package:
Using a Negative Pressure Machine.
Unlimited supply vents cleaning.
Inspection of intake vents
Inspection OF AC unit.
Inspection For The Dryer.
Inspection Of Mold.
But he gave me a special $100 group rate discount so it will be just $199 for the complete package.
He will give you a call/text one day prior to the services for timings and to confirm the appointment. Thanks! Have a great day.

But when real neighbors became suspicious, I canceled appt but still received an appointment confirmation call. I also receive an alert from my identity theft monitoring service that my email address hit an alert board.
So I did a search on phone number of text confirmation # 919-918-0223 and found the scam alert.
