Title: mmmmmm..... (Am I paranoid? Other window cleaners checking out my prices...)
Post by: bobplum on March 22, 2012, 07:07:31 pm
had a phone call yesterday and straight away,i dont know why, i knew it was someone checking my prices, there is just something in the way they ask questions and in the last few weeks have seen a lot of newish looking vans around and when she said"how much do you charge" i should have said a £1.00 and waited for the reply,mind you she may have said ok :'(  oh yes summers here ;D ;D

Mod note:  Grateful if you include more information in your subject header.  Thank you!  It's just a 'consideration' thing for other CIU members.

You may be a touch paranoid, but they are definitely out to get you  :)

I had one of those phone call similar a week ago last saturday asking how much I charge, as I said i dont price up over the phone I have to come out and have a look and she said I will have a word with the so called family and get back to you.

Never got back to me.... :)

I had a local window cleaner email me via my web site i think he must have been checking my site out the email address he put in was wrong but i reconised the name so i googled the mobile number and it came up with the guys company name so i texted him a message asking why he sent me a message asking for a five weekly quote and to see if he was busy or not  ;D ;D

Then the next day i parked my van opposite his house while i went shopping so he could have a look at my van to  ;D ;D ;D

Regards Paul

i have had 2 of these calls recently, the first one claimed to live at a house number that i knew didn't exist, as it was in the same street as i live, the second phone call claimed it was her daughter's flat, but couldn't tell me the address.
