We got a call from GC Industries claiming to be a new carpet cleaning company in town offering a free cleaning. Their claim was they would clean up to two rooms for free so we could experience their services and get the word out about their new company. We asked them "what's the catch" and they claimed there was none, but that both the heads-of-household had to be there.
What showed up at our door was a classic slick-talking Kirby vacuum salesman. He had his new Kirby in hand and proceeded to give us the hard-sell for three hours as he cleaned one room. He would have cleaned another, but we just wanted him out.
Beware of GC Industries for:
- coming to your house on false pretenses
- outright lying on the phone about their real intentions
- taking too long to do a tired old sales pitch
- having the audacity to ask $1700 for a vacuum
