BEWARE! Scam con men
BEWARE ! Scam con men. Referred by Help to buy. First home improvements called said the quote for 8 windows and a door would take 1-1.5 hr . After 2 hours and a lot of chat and time wasting , he Quoted £32,000. I asked him to leave as I had a work call to take and to email me a quote with a full breakdown of costs - he had already measured up, but he refused , said I’ll wait in the car till it’s done , I haven’t finished .. I ( stupidly) let him back in , took another hour, he made 2 fake phone calls to his boss trying to get me a better deal ,( like he was doing me a favour ) if I left a glowing review and had their advertising bill board in my garden for 14 weeks . Said £9,000 for half the work and tried to push me into signing a contract there and then and pay a deposit. I declined. Before he left he hit on me …! Really going the extra mile to get a sale .. I asked him to leave. The boss text me the next day, said would do all the work for £11,000. I said we could discuss it . He arrived at my home the next day ( I thought it was a phone call) and again tried to push me to sign a contract and pay a deposit . No breakdown of costs , nothing . I refused . In the mean time I got a quote from a local glazer , which took 30 mins, no help to buy involved , same work , same standard glass, no pressure to decide and offer price of £6,500 held for 3 months. First home boss text me the next day, said the price is going up today . I declined. He text and said their offer price was withdrawn …! These con men are a menace - I worry they will bully vulnerable people , the elderly ,those with disabilities. They must be reported for these unscrupulous methods. I felt like Ukraine and they are D Trump ..
