SCAMS

Why are there so many scams?
where is the honesty in business? everybody wants a short-cut or a easy way out ! THIS is understandable given our current economical situation but this isn 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 "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 sound 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 grand parents) used to put out;  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.
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 IAQ ?.... Ethics?  Nothing, except the obvious...  as a local small business owner, this article makes me feel better; because as i go thru business every 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 the BLOG does include "WE THE PEOPLE" 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 ot 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
