Home Improvement - Roof Inspection

A gentleman knocked on my door and identified himself as working for the company. He asked if I wanted my roof inspected and I declined. He then told me he could see at least 2-3 points of leaking. I declined. He persisted saying it would be a quick inspection. I shut the door. My roof was replaced less than a year ago. It is not leaking, nor can you identify a leaking roof from a visual street inspection. Dishonest practice designed to make you think you need to pay for services.

I received a mail card stating I had won one of 4 prizes if we attended a presentation. So my husband and I attended a travel presentation on Nov 13 2025 in Brick NJ. We did not buy anything but were still entitled to the 4 gifts per the mailer we received and the certificate that was issued at the presentation. I was to register on travelexpogift.com website which I did and would receive a certificate in 4-6 weeks. I sent a request for follow up with an the email confirmation. I have sent a 2nd message at 8 weeks as still no information has been received and no responses are being sent now either.

Home Improvement

I was locked out of my apartment and called a few locksmiths but none were available to do the job until I found one that did on Google. I asked for an estimate after explaining what needed to be done but they said that the technician had to be on site to prepare a quote. I didn't have a choice but to accept and once he arrived he said that it would be $425 which I thought was a stretch. He picked the lock for a couple minutes and said that he needed to drill it since it was a smartlock (which it wasn't) but said he would replace it so he proceeded to drill it. Once the door was open, he mentioned that the total would be $900 which I did not have. He was not happy and I felt threatened since he had a power tool in his hand standing by my front door so I gave him all that I had which was $650. He did not replace the door handle and left my building. The next day I get quotes from other locksmiths after explaining what had been done and none of them surpassed $400. I then reached out to the technician asking for a detailed invoice which he wasn't able to provide. So I called the company to address the situation and they hung up on me while I was speaking. I tried the number again and they didn't pick up. After calling several times - it just goes to voicemail assuming they blocked my number. This is extremely unprofessional and is considered a crime

Advance Fee Loan

When I was in a time of need I took out a small loan from a company called Cash for whatever and after I get paid off the loan they have attempted to continue to take money out of my account after I've received multiple emails stating that my loan was paid off. They said that I then took out a $750 loan which I know and fact that I did not and they are continuing to argue with me threatening me will not listen to me at all and I told them that I did what I was told to do and I did report them which I am now. They would then tell me good luck and call me evil names and as I continue to ask for a supervisor or tell them that the collection company that is attempting to reach me can contact me personally and then they go to send me to somebody else that can barely speak English. I have known that this was a scam for a long time as I contacted my bank as they continued and continued to pull from my account which we had to close out my account which I no longer am able to have an account and I ended up losing everything due to them constantly pulling money out of my account weekly even though I have information that states that I had no longer have a loan with them. I also did some research and found out that I am not the only one that there are thousands of people that they are doing this to. They won't leave me alone and they call me every hour of the day and they send me messages every hour of the day. They use multiple state numbers to try and call you some are from New York some are from Missouri some are from Kansas, and some are from California.
