Description
Advertised on Facebook. "Mr. Chimney." Seemed legitimate through scheduling process. Chimney Inspector arrive in overalls... not a uniform or with any logo. No identification. In a private vehicle, not a truck with tools, with no label. Quaoted $89 to inspect the chimney. The cost rose to $1000 in less than 15 minutes. Had no tools only his telephone. Could not produce a written check list of inspection nor a card of identification or license. I became suspicious and read reviews. Others had been scammed. I asked him to leave. He did so with no collection of fees.
