🚨 Contractor Scam Awareness 🚨
Today we learned a valuable lesson: always verify property ownership before heading out for an estimate.
We responded to what appeared to be a legitimate fence bid request, only to learn from the real estate agent that the person requesting the estimate did not own the property she also informed us that multiple contractors had been sent to the same house.
Thankfully, all we lost was a little drive time. It could have been much worse if the conversation had progressed into one of the common fake-payment scams targeting contractors.
Once we realized what was going on, we suddenly had some free time on our hands. Instead of doing an estimate, we decided to waste the scammer's time the same way they wasted ours. The screenshots below are the result—and honestly, it was pretty entertaining. 😂
