0466 695 051 - 0466695051: Scam Alert - Pest Control and Cleaning Fraudsters

Hello, we've been scammed by them for pest control. Exactly the same issues, multiple company names, unmarked vehicle, quotes changing, dodgy payment practice, not upfront about what their doing.

Does anyone have a website for them? Trying to report them to ACCC but I can't find the website.

Scammed for rat and mouse control for 500 dollars - said they would clean the poo and return in 3 weeks to repair roof and remove carcusses. Not true.

They also go by General Cleaning Solutions - I hired them to “steam clean” two of my rugs. They basically just soaked them in water and left, saying they would “dry in 2hrs” - they took two days in front of a heater, smelt terrible and looked grubbier than before.

Total scammers! Like others, we paid handsomely for possum removal and "treatment". They were very aggressive about getting paid upfront. They left a dodgy cage in a spot which didn't make sense. Nothing happened and they cut off communications.

Avoid like a plague!

This number also connects to Bright and Shine Carpet Cleaning who pretend to be at St Kilda, VIC. The number you book through is an Indian booking call centre. The call centre will only text you an email address to make contact after job is done (badly)

I found out the hard way after I asked them to come back and properly clean my couch (although you really don't want them back with their ancient, leaky steam cleaner putting water all over your house for you to clean your self, and emptying old water in your clean bathroom without.

Permission).

I noticed a different name on the invoice, then the bank deposit name, then the name from the reply email I finally received saying basically 'job done properly according to our technician, we're not coming back, ha ha we got your money'

Anyhoo, from other reports here will lead you to the many scam companies associated with this number on Product Review- and it is dismal- some how, after being reported constantly, they just keep changing and using multiple names and ripping people off.

Dodgy scammers.

Dodgy cleaning service...... Do not use.

Do not use the dodgy cleaning company - poor service.

Yes they are scammers. Please don’t contact them for any job.

Charged 400% over what is typical for dead animal removal.

Hey, did you do anything after that? As I think we properly got scam with this curtain cleaning thing as well now.

Do not use this organisation.

They sent a repairman to my house that was not qualified to fix my carpet.

I have complained and I am not receiving a response from the organisation.

I was scammed of $450 for Possum Control. The worker named “Pat” clearly a fake name came by with a cage and an apple inside it. He placed it in the roof of our backyard and said call if a possum is trapped. Nothing happened for a week I called him and he kept.

I was scammed of $450 for Possum Control. The worker named “Pat” clearly a fake name came by with a cage and an apple inside it. He placed it in the roof of our backyard and said call if a possum is trapped. Nothing happened for a week I called him and he kept dodging my calls. I called the office and they said to email me my query. I did that and they kept making excuses after all my grievances I said. I asked for a refund and they said they will not provide it and that the case is closed when clearly it isn’t as they haven’t completed the job. No possum was caught. They are scam artists. Pat was saying how he just goes to rich people’s houses and they pay the big bucks for him to catch the possum in the cage. This could be a lie but they are definitely money hungry. Avoid at all costs.

This company is a total scam. They collected linen curtains to dryclean and returned them wet in bag with extra stains and completely different colour. They bleached the curtains and advised they will send someone out to look at outcome. The phone number is now consistently engaged!!

I got ripped of by this company too. Do not use!!

After I contacting them about a refunded the guys who this number belongs to just a laughed down the line. Crooks! Avoid at all cost!!

Scam.

Is not who they say they are.

Indian scammers.

Well well, the slimy little creep that came to do my carpets thinks he'll get away with scamming us. Think again!

So names used.

Filed a full report with ASIC which all on here should be doing, it's the way to shut them done.

But for good measure I've spoken with Aust Federal Police and given them the registered business address 47 Girgarre St Broadmedows VIC which they will be visiting in he near furture and even better if it is a fake address, the Feds will just love that!

Well these guys are in Adelaide. Same phone number Pioneer Maintenance Services. ABN 27 116 958 265. Paid $500 for possum removal. They put a trap in the roof have not seen them since. Asked for my money back and got all the excuses under the sun. ABSOLUTE SCAMMERS. Beware. Reported to consumer affairs.

Scam, the more people that do a police report the better. Robbed thousands of $$

Unfortunately, I can add here — this number and business ABN 55 183 411 466 are scams. They quoted sofa cleaning service only to show up and say the job would cost twice as much. The cleaner also encouraged me to call his boss and cancel the job so that he could offer me a discount and be paid directly. Finally, he tried to collect my full bank details. Scamming on several levels. Have placed several calls back to the number to try and resolve, always being promised a call back — which never comes.

This lot are alive and well in the ACT and running a curtain cleaning scam.

Sure, they pick the curtains up (this is Sam, mobile number 0499 007 407) who then neither delivers the curtains back nor returns calls nor answers text.

Sam is a tall, young man, of Indian origin. He is friendly and personable but clearly has no moral/ethical compass behind his pleasant face.

They masquerade as Target Curtain Cleaning in the ACT, with the mobile 0488 851 508. If you type that number into Google, you will fall off your chair seeing the number of 'businesses' it belongs to all up the east coast of Australia - curtains, carpets, possums, dead animal removal, duct cleaning. Their services are only limited by their collective and criminal imaginations. I'll be putting in a police report and writing to whoever issues ABNs to (putative) commercial businesses.

Indian Scammers.

This is a SCAM Home Maintenance Company. They are dishonest and hiding behind different websites offering sham services. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY.

We paid for Possum Removal and they were deceptive and dishonest and lied about the scope of services.

This is a scan Pest Control Company in ACT. THey have a supposed 24/7 service, they quote a price, someone goes to the premises, the price goes up, they want payment via credit card, the price goes up again. THe accounts dept calls to get credit card payment saying the job has been completed and wants payment. The job actually has not been done and they lie detailing what they say has been done. DO NOT PAY. We caught them out and they hung up.
