I have an 86 yr old sister-in-law. Allison Asphalt stopped and said they had leftover asphalt and would put it on for $500. She agreed. They did the whole driveway, then asked for $14,000.00. She gave them a check for $1500. She is afraid they will come back for more money.

I got a call about putting up a privacy fence. The new homeowner was out of town, and had just bought a new house. He wanted the work done on the property before moving in. I went to the home and took measurements. I saw the for sale sign in the yard. I sent him a quote, and he accepted it immediately. Then he sent the a check with an extra $5000. He wanted me to depsoit the check and give the $5000 to the the homeowner. He said he was in the hospital. He sent a picture of himself at the hospital. Then he sent an AI video approving the work. I called the realtor on the for sale sign. She told me her father owned the home and she hadn't had any interest in it, so it hadn't sold. I told him I would not cash the check. He was very perisistent.

On January 8, 2025, I had work done on my garage door. I paid $722.00 for the services with my VISA card. After about 2-3 weeks, the garage door opens and closes but it jerks. It's the rollers on the roll bar that jerks. So I'm thinking they shouldn't do that so I called them 7-8 times but the phone will answer but it's just music. I called the ScamPulse.com to see if they were a legit business but found out that they were not a legit business. So I filed a ScamReport with BBB.

Two men in yellow and blue polo shirts labeled restore and construct came to our door in the afternoon around 4:20 pm knocking repeatably. When I answered they claimed they had done major remodels with our neighbors (we are the only ones on our street who have had a major remodel in the last year) asking if we were interested. I told them no we just finished remodeling. Then they said that we had an old roof in need of repair. I told them the roof was less than 6 month old and that’s when I knew they were lying outright. They tried protesting that they believed me but that they could do the repairs which I declined saying we have a contractor. I stopped them multiple times from interrupting me as I tried to tell them to leave but they were not listening.

They are talking about the heat pump and they did not come up to par with Nova Scotia, I called our main place here and they informed me that they do anything with rebates. They are not up to Canada's Standards. This is suspicious they want you to finance and we you do the programs through the government you would not have to finance, we do not pay anything for the programs, rebates pay for the installments. They then said nothing come out of my pocket and all it is pay peter to pay paul.

I hired a contractor to fix a fence. He showed up with who he said were his sons started the work. At 10 am he asked for money for material he needed claimed he was going there and to pick up lunch and never returned. Turns out he picked up the other men's from Home Depot promised to pay them and left them here to discover he scammed all of us. He was given $450 cash. Upon talking to people I found someone else he did the same thing to but that time he walked away with $3,000. He is near Slauson and Western areas in south LA.

I need to blast this company. For 3yrs I had a feeling something wasn't right with my lawn for the services I paid to have. I hired Gecko Green to provide lawn treatment and tree and shrub treatment. My grass looks a mess right along with my dead tree in back. I decided to increase my sensitivity on my surveillance cameras cuz I always get notifications on when my service date to be rendered... Well guess what my camera caught yesterday? Him driving right on by. And charging me for services rendered. Fraud...Fraudulent...I'm pulling my camera footage to see how long this has been going on cuz it definitely matches up with my crappy yard. I need all my damn money back. $130 a month for nuffin

Stephen Rogers from Prestige Contracting offered his services to do the

driveway with recycled asphalt for a price of $7000 (no taxes). My

mother signed a contract with him and the work is guaranteed for 5

years. Upon completion of the driveway, there were loose asphalt rocks

throughout and it was crumbling on the sides. My mother has called

Stephen Rogers on numerous accounts, we have sent emails to

[email protected] but they were undeliverable. We have

also sent texts with pictures and videos to his associate, Liam. We

would like for them to come and repair the loose stones and holes and

crumbling sides. There is a house on Montée Crooks (just besides us) who

have similar issues with Prestige Contracting. Here are the phone

numbers we have been trying to reach:

873-455-5458 (Stephen)

343-544-6023 (Liam)

437-580-8761 (Prestige Contracting)

647-763-8176 (Prestige Contracting)

When we walk on the driveway, the rocks (asphalt) come off so we can

just imagine what it will look like during the winter.

I clean houses and I have a professional cleaning business, and we clean residential home. I received a call from a guy with a course accent (Nigerian). He and his wife had purchased a home and we would like it cleaned before we move back from Texas. He stated that he was also having flooring done in the home and then he asked if he could include the fee for the flooring job with the check he would give me. I stated that I did not know this business and I did not feel comfortable. He sent a check in the amount of $3000.00 he was getting antsy, and he was persistent about me cashing the check. So I went to the bank and I asked them if this check was fraudulent but it would take three days in order for them to find out. So, the check was cashed and then he gets antsy, and he wanted me to send the money back. He was harassing me with me wanting to return the money back. I eventually contacted the police and I was informed to reach out to the FBI.

In the mail received a post card. On the front of the post card it lists my name mailing address and "IMPORTANT-NOTICE-DO NOT DISCARD" On the otherside says "IT IS TIME FOR YOUR AIR CONDITIONER TUNE-UP

& INSPECTION "

The paragraph states that its time for your tune up according to the records.

This is not good eldery people may believe that they have to do this. They should just be offering a discount.
