Hey everyone 👋
⚠️ We’ve noticed a big spike in carpet cleaning scams in local groups lately. A common tactic right now is fake profiles pleading for work, claiming they are "struggling with hardship" or desperate to feed their family—often paired with ridiculously cheap prices (like "whole house for £40").
Sadly, these are almost always scam networks using stolen photos. They either take deposits and disappear, or show up, ruin your carpets, and tack on hidden fees.
As a proud local, family-run business Carpet Cleaning Co, we hate seeing our neighbours get caught out.
Quick tips to protect yourself:
Check the page: Real businesses have established pages with local history, not a personal profile created last month.
Look at real reviews: Make sure reviews are from actual local people showing real photos of the work.
Verify insurance: Always ensure they have proper trade & public liability insurance before entering your home.
We believe in honest pricing, quality work, and doing the job right—no gimmicks or pity posts required!
