Toledo Scams ⚠️

G’Day BP folks,

A fellow Toledo investor started a Facebook group revealing all local scammers.

Mostly contractors.

10+ years of investing in Toledo and stopped counting at $1m in losses.

It’s just the nature of the beast and the cost of doing business in my eyes.

Unfortunately, Toledo is notorious for bad operators and poor quality of workmanship in many industries.

Maybe this group will help you not loose the same amount of cheese that I did $$$

You’re welcome 😇

Thank you for posting this! Much needed. Do you have a contractor that you would recommend for Toledo? The one I used was the worst workmanship I've encountered and didn't complete the job either.

Sorry to hear about your troubles but not uncommon.

You will find recommendations in the group.

As you can imagine, we keep our trusted contractors close to our chest as we give them volume and need them working for us.

All the best 🙏

Thank you! I also just listened to your podcast episode! Very insightful on vetting with your elimination question. Hoping to learn more from your youtubes!

Thanks for the share to a larger audience, Engelo. Much appreciated. Hopefully we can make the fraudsters of the area a little less brave and maybe get some justice for some others.

Since you were a tradie in your previous life, seems like a great opportunity for an ethical businessman  (like you) to build another company. Dude, youd kill it!

Hope you got your Stetson!
