Scam ALERT!!!

ALLERT!!ALLERT!!ALLERT!! Their is a guy walking up and down Banning/Beaumont streets he's young looking I think he goes by George. Anyway he claims he's Verizon Fios and even has his own contractor that conveniently comes to your house quickly and installs their service. The contractor's name is Eduardo with a white pick up. Anyway he quotes people on prices that aren't normally negotiable and the contractor does a small amount of work leaving your house a mess. The prices and services are a lie! DON'T I repeat DON'T sign up with Verizon Fios if someone is coming to your house and giving you prices. Plus I think the guy is scouting the area too because he checks addresses even if your not home. If your going for Verizon fios I recommend going to a actual Verizon store or Kiosk at Wal-Mart. and if your one of those people who unfortunately did sign up with the guy I recommend you call the actual 1800 number not the one he provided (agent) and cancel the service right away because on the fine print it says you have 3 days to cancel for free.
