Why are there so many scams?
Where is the honesty in business? Everybody wants a shortcut or a easy way out ! THIS is understandable
given our current economical situation but this is not the reality of
the world we live in today. We have to look our for our selves... WE have to get us out of this mess we have gotten into.
People, you have to do the work! its as simple as that; NO LOW ROADS OR SHORT CUTS!!!!
But I also think that the consumer needs to be aware of what a "load of goods" they are being sold.
There are no $10 diamond rings... this is a fallacy... Nor are there $99 or $159 Air Duct Cleaning jobs... remember, if it sounds too good to be true... it probably is !
Most
often, this CHEAP, BAIT 'NSWITCH, BLO 'N GO DEAL is an UNLICENSED
CONTRACTOR; and that is misusing the term "contractor" because in
Florida, these carpet cleaning leeches are not required to be
"contractors"; They are the furthest thing from "a Licensed
Contractor"... you don't need to be a contractor to clean carpets,
windows, or do pressure-washing in this state but if your are going to Inspect, Clean or Restore an HVAC System You damn well better have an HVAC contractors License for the STATE OF FLORIDA
Lets
get back to the honest effort that our forefathers (or even our
parents or grandparents) used to put out as wise consumers; to the actual true meaning
or values of "The American Dream" and being responsible, wise or self
reliant. At least accept the blame if your get scammed. Lets face is
you are un-uneducated consumer if you get burned by a bait
&switch. Take charge of your own situation, don't let someone
else have to cover the tab when you get burned. Do the research.
Lots of people
chalk it up to technical advancement in so many areas of modern life,
but I believe we have all gotten very lazy... Technology is a wonderful
thing for all of us but we must maintain principles & INTEGRITY
to move forward with all this technology...
There will always be somebody from far away trying to separate you from your money... but just use your Head !
SHOP locally, Ask questions, Be patient, & Demand excellence from you business contacts or merchants ....THINK
What
does this have to do with Air Duct Cleaning?.... Ethics? Nothing, except the
obvious... as a local small business owner, this article makes me feel
better; because as I go thru my business week I think a lot of people
feel that same way that I do, as I have expressed here... I want to do
something about it. The title of this BLOG does include "WE THE PEOPLE" ...
The state an for reference to this entry, the State of Florida doesn't have the manpower to police every scammer
& con-artist out there trying to separate you from your money;
the consumer needs to accept the responsibility for their own
judgement, And WHY NOT, do the research, the technology to figure out
who's who is right at the end of your fingertips...
You call me & you be the judge.
