The Fix Your Dented Car Scam
from Scam Squad Hosted by Hub for Podcasting
Beware of people who approach you in parking lots that offer to fix the dents in your car right there in the parking lot for a cut rate price. Almost all of them are cons and scammers that will quote you a low price, but will find ways and excuses for jacking the price up really high. When they're done, changes are they fixed more dents that were agreed upon and will insist that you pay a small fortune for the work they did. They will also often say that you had agreed to pay a much higher price that you really did. When you complain, they become very aggressive and threatening and always pick people they know they can beat up if you don't agree to pay them what they are now demanding. Listen to our elderly guest who went through a very, very scary ordeal with one of these scumbag cons that extorted her out of hundreds of dollars.
