A simple home repair becomes a costly lesson

A few weeks ago, a gentleman I know came by my office to share a story he thought might serve as a lesson for others. He wasn't looking for sympathy—he was hoping his experience might help someone avoid a similar situation.

He wasn't asking anyone to intervene. In fact, he told me he was a little embarrassed about what had happened.

His hope was simple: perhaps his experience might help someone else avoid the same situation.

He had recently seen an online advertisement for dryer vent cleaning. The price seemed reasonable—just $69. Like many of us would, he clicked, scheduled an appointment, and expected a straightforward service call.
