Hello. I ran into a garage door service company and saw that their entire business is based on fraud. They fix non-existent door problems for thousands of dollars, although parts are very cheap. Is this considered a scam and how can they be punished? Only text please.
A:
you should contact a civil lawyer to see if they feel there is a case.
write out a detailed summary to share with a lawyer.
contact the appropriate authority, either police or licensing entity for that company.
IF, they are fixing the doors, but you think the price is too high, that is not necessarily a scam but rather a company to be avoided.
A: You can also contact the district attorney's office consumer protection division to see if they will help you.
