Chimney Sweep Scam Alert
On February 8, 2024 I spoke to a new customer who had a harrowing experience. She lives in an upscale neighborhood in Southern Orange County. She saw an ad on her neighborhood social media page that advertised 30% of chimney sweeps and the company name was Lucky Sully Chimney Sweep. We are the only licensed contractor with that name.
She responded to the ad and when the chimney sweeper arrived, she saw he was driving a Prius. The price she was quoted was $175 (with the 30% discount), but this man (said his name was Ray) said the price was $300 and wanted cash. He was unable to provide a business card or any stationery with the business name. He said he was from AM Janitorial Services but had no business card or license. He said the Lucky Sully bid the job out to him. We DO NOT bid out jobs to other companies.
If we feel the job is not something we can do, we may refer homeowners to other legitimate chimney companies, but it is up the the homeowner to contact those companies. We do not receive commissions from these companies. We do NOT advertise on neighborhood social media sites although some of our customers have written about us on some of these neighborhood pages.
If you find out about us from an ad on social media, please call our main number 714-342-7415 or email us at luckysullysweep@aol.com if you want to do business with us.
