Although there are many reputable companies that offer dozens of necessary services throughout the country, including here in the Portland and Vancouver area, unfortunately there are also other companies or individuals that will do anything for a buck. That includes ripping good people off. Anyone can be the victim of a scam, but in so many cases, scammers make the elderly their primary prey.

It’s unfortunate that so many people are willing to trick the elderly out of their money by offering bogus services, such as false air duct cleaning. That’s not to say that air duct cleaning is bogus; but many self-proclaimed air duct-cleaning companies are nothing more than a front for a few individuals to steal money from senior citizens. These scammers often get way with their dirty deeds, but not always.

Recently, a purported air duct cleaning company that was targeting the elderly was caught by authorities and arrested for their air duct cleaning scam. After visiting many home and tricking several elderly people out of their hard-earned money with bogus claims and false work invoices, authorities have put a stop to their scamming efforts.

This is just one more example of a phony air duct cleaning company giving the overall general business of air duct cleaning a bad name. Fortunately, there are real air duct cleaning companies that are reputable and that really do what they say.
