We rigged a house with hidden camera's and mics. We had a woman call up each of these companies that offered the to good to be true prices and had her set an appointment with each. When they arrived EVERY ONE of them either tried to pressure sell her on something she did not need or told her that the advertised price only applied to "basic" cleaning. We had already cleaned the carpets prior to any of them coming over. We got EXCELLENT video of all 4 companies doing this. We approached the owners and asked them to start practicing good business rather than ripping off their customer. All of them insisted that they had good business practices.... until we showed them the video. 2 of them got so mad they wanted to fight and the other 2 were simply speechless. They couldn't believe someone actually caught them in a lie. We told each company that we would submit these tapes to all three local news channels as well as the attorney general if they did not change their practices. 3 of them immediately changed there advertising and started listing all the extra charges. The one that didn't made the 10pm news of two different channels and was out of business in less than a month! He threatened legal action but there was nothing he could do because we had him and the accusations all on video. He could not dispute anything. Our lawyers said that as long as we had video proof that they were practicing like this we could do it to any cleaner to expose them. Sounds like a 20/20 thing I know but it was the only way we could think of to get these guys to stop taking advantage of the customer. They were truly crooks! Needless to say we have leveled the playing field!
