Hello Everyone, a few weeks ago I won a $1,500 bathroom remodel prize drawing. I came here to ask if it was a scam and lots of people told me that it sounded legit and was an awesome prize!
I thought I would give you guys an update so that others can watch out for things like this. It was absolutely a scam... They tell you that you won and get this great discount. My first hint that it was a scam was that they called both me and my girlfriend to tell each of us that we had won. We both had entered into the drawing. When I asked them about it they said oh well we had 2 winners this time. I was sceptical so after the quote came in I asked for the breakdown of prices. The quote they gave me felt way too high for the remodel I was wanting. They were charging me things like $800 for the faucet alone that should have been $200 max. After seeing that, I got another quote from a local company for the same remodel that came in almost $3,000 cheaper.
Moral of the story is that you should always get another quote, ask to see the price breakdown, and be skeptical if you are "winning" a prize like that. They clearly were raising their prices to compensate for the "discount" making there be no real discount and they just tricked you into getting a remodel that you may or may not have wanted in the first place.
Thank you for the advice guys!
Edit: I'm a terrible writer
