Further to an article or letter you published on or around March 24 regarding a Sun City scammer, I am writing to advise I think we also have been scammed by possibly the same people.
We live in Yuma and one day last week a guy drove by our house and called out to my husband to ask if we would like our concrete patio epoxy painted. We had actually been thinking about doing our back patio, and I was going to do it, but my husband thought it was too big a task for me. So he invited the guy to take a look.
He said he could do it, and that he had leftover product that he was going to have to dispose off if not used that day. I’ll try and keep this as brief as possible, but he started off by quoting $5,000, then $4,500, then $4,000, then finally $3,500, and this would include our small front patio as well, which we thought was still too high, but agreed to it. I asked when he could do it, and he said “now” and that he just had to go to a store and get more product. This all happened so fast and we didn’t think to ask about licenses or a written quote/invoice.
