I foolishly answered the door this evening and was then sweet-talked by a pleasant young woman offering a free "exterior assessment", to be arranged over the phone. I even gave her my name and phone number. It seems, in retrospect, that this is some sort of scam (I am now kicking myself). Certainly I have now found comments about this being a scam on other community groups, indeed they were the top results when googling "Red Ball Marketing". Does anyone know quite what the scam is? Is it simply trying to get one to sign up for unnecessary building work or rather something more sinister?

yours worriedly!?

this guy came to my house last night too

wasn't pushy - he was quite nice for random sales person


i asked him how his company made their revenue

he said that they booked commission from construction companies who would come round and fix asthetic or structural problems with a house


scam or not, i dont know anyone who'd consider employing someone who randomly goes round people's houses on a friday night to drum up business... weirdo

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
