Scam Alert/Reminder
Hi all.
I was approached by a gentlemen today at Wells Fargo in Fremont! He pulled up to me and asked me if I wanted him to fix my door. Before he even said a price, I said "not interested." He said he'd do it for $140. And again I said not interested.
What is ironic is that yesterday, someone flagged me down in Milpitas telling me he could fix my door for "cheap" as well.
This is a reminder for you and your families that these people are NOT LEGITIMATE. Well... I assume they are not legitimate.
Don't fall for these scams! Be aware. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

In the picture, if you look a little right to the darkonion.com magnet... you can kind of see the dent. It's actually a big dent. Yeah...

Someone offered me ding repair service at a gas station not too long ago. After I turned him down he gave me a legitimate business card (picture, business name, phone numbers, etc).
Maybe this is just the "door-to-door" nature of dent removal workers.

yea my dad was approached by one of these people, paid 40 bucks and had a huge dent removed that he hadnt planned on fixing because body shops would have charged too much. When I came back from college, I inspected it and there were no defects or cracks in the paint 
maybe some are legit
