Does this smell fishy???

[Scott_D]

got a call Friday from a woman. Building an extension, wants a new boiler and pipework

Ok I can call in Monday and have a look.

She says that should be fine, builder should be there but will text you to confirm.

Get a message today all fine for Monday

She was very vague about it all so I google her name and number

Pops up with her advertising jobs for labourers, builders

And a link to a building, loft conversion, bathroom, heating company.

She never mentioned this and I just assumed it was her house being extended but I'm thinking she is doing the job and subbing all bits out.

Just keep your eyes open and note down everything

If it`s more than five minutes out of your way home I wouldn`t bother tbh.

Personally Id give her a call and ask her to expand. Your instincts are DEF to be listened to. They do not let you down

Just ask her outright. Then double your price.

 

[hammers4spanner]

Get lots of that these days usually charge double

Yer just turn up and suss it out , you cant read a lot through texts etc

 

[Scott_D]

Done a bit more googling
Seems like she is the office person, they have a salesman and a builder.

Just weird why she wouldn't mention it

 

[Harvest Fields]

Because it puts people off.

Think of a number, add 1000 and multiply by your age.

If they can't be upfront from the start. What will it be like when you come to get your coin?
