SCAM ALERT:How would you handle this scam. A realtor contacted us to do a cleaning. She had the owners credit card and contact info. We did the job and realtor signed off on it. Now we get a message that he disputed it almost 20 days later. Said job was unsatisfactory but we have before and after pics in HouseCall Pro and it looks great.
So I call the realtor and she said the work was amazing the realtor. I explained what happened and she said he is doing it to all the vendors and that he dropped her as a realtor and has another agent. She said she feels it's a scam. Now 300 dollars aint gonna make me or break me but the fact he is low life dirt ball trying get over on everyone does makes me angry. What if the painter and others need that money to feed their families? How would you proceed?
I am starting a list to warn others. Feel free to let me know any other scams;
1) Rug washing scam
2) Out town credit cards/checks
3) Slip & fall scam
4) GoFund Me
5) PM's to offer social networking
6) PM's to offer SEO
7) PM's to mine members to other fruits & groups
8) Paying for items like Truckmounts before built or from verified vendors
9) Plants to promote tools, machines and chemicals of friends
10) Plants or friends of competing groups/forums sent to undermine successful groups/forums by spreading 1/2 truths, lies and slander.
Please report any of the above. TMF has a team of attorneys that will help you out. But use common sense. For example, I see all kinds rumors about GoFundMe's accounts. For the record I have NEVER set up one and will NOT support one that someones else sets up unless it is verified. If doing any dealings with anyone, no matter how nice they seem, put it in WRITING and have as much contact information as possible about sellers. Feel free to ask me as I have my finger on the pulse of the industry.
One thing about TMF, is NO one has a better track record and 5 star reviews or testimonials in our industry. We have accumulated over 10,000 and back everything up a 100-200%. However we have sent out free items to those in need or who have suffered from fires, natural disasters and thefts. Please send requests when unforeseen occurrences to roballen@truckmountforums.com and I will see what I can do to send for "FREE" to those in need.
