There’s no question that getting your air ducts cleaned is a valuable service. Clean air ducts can help you breathe better and save you money on energy bills. Unfortunately, like with any kind of service, there are people who try to take advantage of customers and scam them out of money.

Recently, a judge in Denver, Colorado ordered two men and their companies to stop advertising for their air-duct cleaning services in the state of Colorado. These men and their companies can no longer conduct their services either, after they were found guilty of advertising them on various coupon sites, like Groupon, but they were not planning on honoring their reduced rates.

The two men must also pay nearly $1 million to the state for performing services that were essentially useless and of no value, and for charging more than the price they were advertising. You can read the entire article by clicking here.
