Description

Tyler and his female partner Samantha or also known as Tammy approached our home in our driveway. They introduced themselves as “The small engine man” LLC company Do we have anything that needs repairing We are a homestead, and have a 2000,- dollar milking mashine that has rusted shut. I had overflowed the mashine with soapy warm water while cleaning my hoses. It rusted the durable mashine and he said “no problem, I can fix it” 500,- paid on the spot Another 300,- paid for parts And off he went with my 2000,- milking mashine He sent videos and called with an update and all seemed well. Then it was time to return the mashine, and he was ready to deliver And all calls stopped, texts stopped, emails not answered. I searched online for my mashine being sold, called, sent messages… nothing We drove by the address, and there is no home no information I don’t understand Please be careful for services offers by a short small looking man, young and his partner girlfriend also short and small. They are in the Waldorf MD area driving a pickup truck to homes asking if you need any repairs done. They take your equipment, repair it and disappear. Tyler and Tammy are a scam!
