Would you reschedule or forget it?

I recently received a telemarketing call offering a service I actually need (a free estimate on home repair-remodel).

Since it was convenient that they called and saved me the bother of trying to find someone, I scheduled an appointment for one week later and made appropriate arrangements to be home.

Two hours before the scheduled appointment, they called to cancel and asked to reschedule.
I said I'd get back to them but am not too eager to bother.

I was VERY clear about needing a LOT of home repair and remodel, so this would have turned into a very large job.

I've never heard of their company before and after investigating, I see they have a handful of complaints about their telemarketing (not the actual home repair service).

Would you reschedule with them or take this last minute cancellation as a red flag and just find someone else ?

What a scam. Do not do business with this company. If you are going to spend a lot of money on your home get recommendations from your friends and neighbors. Maybe even try Angie's List. But never an unsolicited phone call.

ANY company that has to resort to free estimates by telemarketing is OBVIOUSLY a scam, the business, such as it is, is so bad they cannot get customers the normal way so they resort to telemarketing. Do NOT reschedule, you just dodged a big bullet.

Will people never learn.

They are probably just barely not criminals. They are a racket of scam artists at best. Go and find a legitimate company or your home will be destroyed and you will have NO recourse.

You're about to get screwed over in a major way. Forget them.
