Same as others. I have filed a complaint with the Colorado Secretary of State using the Colorado No Call reporting process (since my phone is on the no call list). I encourage everyone to do the same (in your state of course)
I live in the midwest and have never even been to San Francisco. FWIW, this company is Servicemaster. They have such a bad reputation now, they have to operate under other names. I used to get a very similar pitch from them, except not the background check. They wanted me to pay $50 per lead, all of which were 100s of miles away. If by chance a job is near you and you take it, they expect you to provide labor and materials in advance and then they will send you a check. Yeah right, I'm sure they would. It is a shame that many potential customers turn to Servicemaster when looking for a contractor since they are crooked and most do not know this.
JOHN CALL ME TODAY 7-11-2011 IM IN HOUSTON TX HE CALL FROM 315-218-0556 SYRACUSE NY AND LEFT A NUMBER TO CALL 415-449-8787 SAN FRANCISCO CA (CRAIGSLIST POST)
They are calling me from this number too. Saying they are responding to my ad on CL. They called me from 315 218 0556 and left 415 449 8787 as a call back number. Beware everyone!!!! this is a scam they are asking for money.
