Title: Charge peanuts get monkeys
Post by: cleanability on December 01, 2010, 12:06:24 pm
I know we all know its true but had to phone a leaflet I picked up in garage. Was a nice glossy colour leaflet with incredible prices. All the things u get with rip off merchants were covered lol. Hall stairs landing FROM !!!! £10. Bedroom FROM !!!! £8. No landline only mobile. No address. Dry in 15minutes.
I called the number. A halfwit answered the phone and his first words were.....yeah I know you can guess....was " Yeah ?" lol. I had to drag it out of him that he was a carpet cleaner I asked about the bedroom for £8. He said he'd have to come and look. I said easy access, just a freshen up not dirty at all and was 7ft X 7ft. He wouldnt give me a clue as to price. Must come out to see it. I said ok great when can you come. He said he'll have to wait for the snow to go so in about 2-3 weeks. Which is amazing as we've had hardly any snow here lol. I asked which method do you use. He said steam clean. I said you mean hot water extraction? He said yeah something like that lollllllllllllllll I said dry in 15mins? He said yeah  lol
Beats me these guys. And the crazy thing with this clown is he doesnt want any work !

£8 per room seems right if someone thinks a 4 bed house for £75 is realistic

Yet another rip off goon. I reckon that watchdog programme has given morons the idea of carpet cleaning as an easy way to con people  ::)

Here's the best scam.

You give me a percentage of your salary for all your working life. Then when you retire you can.....fck off because it's all gone. :'(
