Scamming Service Man Caught On Tape (10-16-09 - Day 96)

[boagley1]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! Bag 'im an tag 'im! SERVED!!!! lol

[tinderinc]

the same thing happens with most bug killing places. You get a price of $100 but then they say cash only and its $150... seems like a scam or something is fishy with these corpertations

[JSullivanMusic19]

Y'all got him, and I got to watch him get got :D Lol I undersatnd why you guys had to react in the way you did though. Totally justified. If y'all would have ran with it like that only with assumptions that he was lyin, that coulda been seen as a lil mean but since y'all knew for a fact that he was lyin and tryin to get extra money, I woulda been a lil less nice than y'all were :) lol Great job you guys. I loved it.

[bastardchildofmary]

you show him! give him a credit card! let jp morgan chase make the profit on interest! thats showing them!!

[gahloot]

Wish that obnoxious bitch in the background would shut her annoying pie hole!

[KENOFKENS46]

I would sooooooo not give them my card number.

[CeaLaVee]

Daaaaaammnnn Yall go !

[Natalim789]

First off it's your fault for agreeing to the price your not obligated to use them and if you didn't ask him for the price before he started then thats on you, look at all the carpet cleaning ads they say "starting at 20 c/sqf" and that depends on the condition of your carpet. You didn't need to use him so I don't know how you think he's scamming you. Plus why the hell are you making a big deal over check or cash so there was a misunderstanding,,, I feel bad for him - Your chick is a mad bitch!

[TruckMountForums]

what was the name of his company? You can always find a legit carpet cleaner on truck mount forums :)

[greencleaner]

Why didn't you ask to see the bill before he started? Where's the part where the company says "all you have to pay is 20 cents a foot? Who is scamming who?

[MrYtubenewsanchorman]

this was not a ripoff



[dkoch2]

what a douche, i woulda called the company after the guy left and complained

[KellWoo10]

This is my all-time favorite video! tumbs up for speaking up and standing up for what's right.

[filipinokid18]

pure pwnage!

[jb68025]

thats what happens when you call a bait and switch company..do your homework. if he was shady from the start..THROW HIM OUT. dont have the work done, pay for it and then bitch about it.  he's a sub contractor with his own equip and will ALWAYS charge more than the phone or the advertised price.

[sonad28]

Damn nice one Alpha Lavie

[Dbell1000]

Lisa and Iman get him! lol

[AlphaLavie]

@Dbell1000 :-) indeed

[gedking8871]

he is east european they rip you off

[mofo1721]

hahhhahhahhahhah good job showing him to the dore

[SUTHERNGIRRLL]

You still got ripped off either way. My husband use to clean carpets and there is NO way that you should have been charged even half that. Dang, Cali is expensive!

[rdline73]

actually the worker is right , credit card paying will cost him a percentage and he will loose money . These people knew the job was getting done why do they have to make it hard for the guy just pay him cash you cheap bitch.

[Alytoner]

Do you not understand the fact that the guy made an extra 15 cents for each square foot? He charged them almost double for what they should have paid, that was the main issue.

[Karola2277]

rdline73 > There is no need to sware at people. Calm down.

[Chaco1982]

This made me angry.

[stewswife]

Lmao Love it! Called him out got him on cam showed him the friggin door! Hahaha! Yea thats awesome guys!

[Shawty1590]

I love how yall always find something interesting about everyday life

[GimmeGimmeNeverGetz]

What a twatface!

[GordyTL]

Wow! He was scared!!! I was thinking he's gonna get the Obama kung-fu treatment, followed by a poke in the eye from the famous Lavie-finger! LOL

[Snickers1976]

Hahaha Nice i love how Lisa Puts her foot down and tells him straight up that its 20c some people out there would just be like aaahh ok and dont want the trouble good job

[cavsgoalltheway]

i wounld hav stole him in hes jaw

[lllaura86]

HAHAHA i hat shady people either, the only shady things i like are trees...

[Evsta101]

And parasols?

[abracefacetwoeyes]

BUSTED!!!

[hevvye]

okay him arguing makes him look even worse. i wouldn't of paid and called his boss.

[vwcdogg]

Iman got his "Big Guy" on! I like that!

[AquariZMusic]

shady, props for speakin up on it. most people are obvious to bullshitters. excuse my language.

[pernoy]

I hate scammers just be honest and earn honest money...

[DannysUltimatum]

You told that guy, Lisa! and great job showin him the door Iman! lol freakin scammers. he must have thought you guys were stupid. freakin idiot.

[muzikluver05]

Way to go Iman! Lisa you are fiesty!

[jellotime91]

You guys are like a crime fighting couple. I don't see how Iman stayed so calm! I would've been maaad like Lisa was. But worse lol.. I'd flip.

[BTMS09]

check out Alphacat kicking him out mid sentence lol good job (i say alphacat because idk how to spell his name correctly eman im guessing)

[jellotime91]

Iman. his name is in the video description every video. :/

[rocklesson86]

I would of cussed his ass out.

[DamitaJo79]

oooh. he fired.

[zzkinnardzz]

Lawl. Damn scammer! call local news.. Let more people know about these people.

[Munmundivalishis]

what a dooshbag! did you guys report him?

~Munmundivalishis

[alanalanomd]

Ha busted

[Divalici0us1]

Someone got busted.

Did he know you were recording it?

[AlphaLavie]

Divalici0us1<- No, he didn't realize.

[Divalici0us1]

lol...suck to be him. I'm glad you got it on camera though. :)

[CrymeTyme30]

i'm surprised Iman didn't rock him in the jaw for trying to scam him in his own house....that's just disrespectful

[AlphaLavie]

CrymeTyme30<- Yeah Iman was pretty calm because the camera was on.. lol

[himonkey223]

at least its the cameras word against his mumbeling so u know whos ganna win that in court if u even wanna take it that far but did he get busted and stuff cuz thats like really far on the law isnt it?

[emilylengriffin]

lol wow, what a dumb scammer. I think most scammers would have been freaking out about the fact that you were recording them.

[kdoss08]

Lol..5*****

[AuraAurora]

YES! Get that fool! :O)

[AlphaLavie]

AuraAurora<- :-)

[azngurls]

Win for Lisa throwing it in his face. Win for Iman for putting the period at the end of the sentence and showing him the door.

[AlphaLavie]

azngurls<- Win win. Woohooo! :-) hehe

[puertomexican93]

wow that "scammer" is not that bright, XD

[cecibagel]

Good job!!

[natalieanne89]

O.M.G that bloke is an IDIOT!

Well done Lisa and Iman!! :)

[FallenSputnikMusic]

Iman, very smart. And Lisa I am surprised he didn't see the camera. I deff hope people like him get fired. Have a nice day :)

[hununuisnoob]

i wonder whether he watched this video yet. coz i hope he did. see how dumb he was . lol

[itsthegreenplatypus]

what a horrible guy...that's good that you both were there...

[TshaFromTWest]

Good thing both of you were there!

[donaldlooney]

He just a hustler. The thing about it in the service industry you have to watch these guys because they try this stuff all the time. When I was a cable guy I would lead you to believe anything. I did not scam, I would only tell you what you asked me. I would assume you wanted everything unless you told me otherwise. This clown is not smart enough to get over on anyone. Idiot, its 2009, they probably take debit cards at the swap meet. Get em AlphaLavie!!!!

[preetcrew]

Dude, Its hilarious how that idiot didnt seem to realise that you basically caught him trying to rip you off and then was arguing with Lisa wtf. :)) Nice going. Heyy, didnt that loser realise you were recording him???

[bv90andy]

btw he was asking for it, in the end I could see the adrenaline in you :P

[bv90andy]

I hate bringing strange people in my house, I prefer to take a day of, buy what I need and do my own work.

[BackwardsJOE]

alphacat u da best u showed him so did lisa showed him

[michaelacwhite]

pitbullin<~~~~~ what a jerk, why would u want to wish that on someone? yes everyone has their own oppinion, but that is no excuse to be so harsh!

IMAN AND LISA i wish you both the best for the future! well done!

[babyv2992010]

people these day............ i know times are tough and the economy is bad, and even if it wasnt, that doesnt give anybody the right to cheat someone out of their money. that guy was a scamming jerk

[xCantCatchMe]

Go you guys! You shouldn't have to stand for his crap. I couldn't stand his babbling either. ¬_¬

[TrueDecline]

I cant believe some people are actually sticking up, for this lying idiot lol.. they must be scam artist too lol.. go figure.

[SusSell]

lol AlphaLavie FTW

[Pitbullinlipstick]

Obviously since you can't stop yepping your mouth, when you're expecting workmen go to the mall or studio for a needed stress reliever. Taking it out on the service man was wrong on your part. I hope the neighborhood offender is watching this one. Lastly I wish your relationship the worst because you're making Iman look bad.

[Alphacat]

pitbullin<~~~~ btw shut up. you have to much to say but not enough knowledge to know what you're talking about. thats a bad setup. A. you dont leave someone in your home you dont know. b. no ones taking anything out on anybody. Again the guy LIED. She will and we BOTH will be pissed at such an individual. Lastly how can you wish our relationship the worst cause shes 'making ME look bad' thats dumb like your perspective. get a life.

[Silushun]

One of the first times I've seen you reply to a comment on your videos ;-)

Where was that dude from? he didnt even sound half English lawl. was he Mexican/Spanish? or something.

Btw Good Job ^_^

[MuppetsRfUN]

So if somebody came in to your home and tried to rip you off, you'd be okay with that? You sir are what we like to call a schmuck.

[Pitbullinlipstick]

Wow Lisa so unprofessional of you. If you had a problem with the customer service of the "Scamming Service Man" why not immediately call the person who quoted you the other price or the manager right there on the spot. Being rude by ramming your mouth down this guys throat just made YOU look bad Lisa. Look how Iman was behaving, and then compare that to you! There could have been a better way to approach the situation, you know the professional way.

[Alphacat]

pitbullinlipstick<~~ wait what? ramming her mouth down the guys throat. The dude was a jerk and a liar. When someone attempts to scheme on you for money in your own home people are entitled to be upset. We already called the manager twice and we spoke with his boss again when he left. We were merely confronting him on the issue.

Chill out.

[drmamiuluv]

Iman--- Why waste your time replying to an idiot like this??? he obviously is just dying for attention. BTW great job on not letting some jerk take advantage of you guys. It's crazy to know that there's people like that out there...

[mben1234]

lol at 3:11 wen he said dats it and he showed him the door....it reminds me of drake....his hand gestures in best i ever had and forever....

nice :)

[mben1234]

lol there was a guy like this at my house and my mom did the same thing that lisa did....lol

just argue wit them..and then they'll be scared...lol

they roasted this guy in 3:33 XD

[DJVideoMusicMixer]

LOOOOL! Go you two for getting that idiotic scammer.

Hate them so much, he was just an egg!

[JuztPaultje]

Great job for showing him the door! that's how it works hehe :D

[rathin89]

A few things,

1) Iman showing him out - FTW

2) Lisa having cam on without cleaner noticing...brilliant

3) Probs best to go with another cleaning company next time..lol

[2Lazy2SignUp]

This happens more than people think. This is a great PSA on how NOT to get scammed.

[ThePickledOrange]

lol didnt that guy notice you had a camera??? if so, why the hell did he keep trying to get more money out of you?? HAHA Alphacat showing him the door was just the end of him tryng to get more money :P

Excerlent!! XD

[shenli07]

OMG...i would've given 10 stars for showing him the door. love u guys. xx

[SuperRiggers]

They don't even bother to learn english

[princeword]

Good on you

scamming is so common in this kind of work, not everybody but you get a feel for it at first sight and I'm glad you got the camera out in case it had been worse.

Cheers

[TimothyDeLaGhetto2]

lol i just realized how jealous i am of your signoff. time to hook up the autotune

[Alphacat]

Tim<~~~ i see you. hi hater lol

[kynston]

lmfao youtube celebs aren't supposed to comment on other celebs channels. it was cool seeing you post lol

[kemicalchaos]

You Guys Showed Him!! :-)

I Love You Guys Your The Best!!

[CocaoTenPuff]

Fail scammer service man. Good job AlphanLavie.

[nyckillaheat]

wow and he thought he could get away with it lol

[fangirl4ever2007]

Iman, are you sure that phone call he made was not a friend of his on the other line and not his place of business?

[fangirl4ever2007]

GET EM LISA! LOL ...

If you ever quit singing, you can go to law school and be a prosecuter lmao

[fangirl4ever2007]

prosecutor? Anywho I like the way Iman escorted him out the door lol

[AlphaLavie]

fangirl4ever2007<- I would like to e an entertainment attorney. I'd make sure Artists don't get Screwed. It's happens way too often.

[vvvkfuck]

the customer is always right,lol

[AlphaLavie]

vvvkfuck<- Indeed

[NotoriousK90]

He's such and obvious scam artist AND disrespectful :\ talking to Lisa like that and giving her that rude a** look! I hate people who scam

[AlphaLavie]

NotoriousK90<- Yeah, he was definitely a piece of work.

[iHeartSneakers89]

that man is CRAZY! how are u going to argue w/ur customers about commission, credit, and cash?! whaaaat?! five stars for Iman cutting that scam skeeze ball short and showing him the door. and five stars for Lisa getting ready to handle some Verbal business:).

[AlphaLavie]

iHeartSneakers89<- :-)

[Chasen14]

BaldButWigged <- You know it~ :-)

[BlueSilence1985]

[Kaiserks3338]

[treyzgurl09]

OMG..I love u guys! Ur so amazing! he was so busted he didn't know what to do. i thought iman was gonna mollywhop him tho.great vid.

[DukePowell]

He has probably done that same scam 100 times before you. Don't think he wont be trying it on the next customer lol

[4ashleyj]

why were u sooo damn mean 2 the man

[FutureStudy]

because he is a criminal

[sogron007]

wow is this for rea ? so sad !! Looked liked Iman was about to get lose on someone!

[TemptationBrewer]

what an ass, seriously its one thing to scam a person online, but scamming someone in their own home when they are already calling you out, that takes some serious balls.

[sentbyQpid]

Wow what a rip off artist, people like this really upset me -_- But more power to you guys for exposing this man, sadly he probably does this all the time, but you guys aren't having it. My fave parts Lisa calling him out on the price and Iman showing him the door X)

[19BabyDee87]

wow did you guys call his boss after he left

[MUSTSEEVID]

bam caught crooked ass carpet layer... or cleaner.. dag i wish i was there i would of been the hype woman. like repeated every thing lisa said but in a higher tone.. lol

[11moonelf]

oh..my..GOD!...really?..do you think bosses were in on it or just the one guy?. clearly he & they will be sorry you two r well known..it happened to me w an airport shuttle during the worst snow storm in years. no other passengers,the driver calls that news in, charges me a bigger fee! i chose not to fight it or the fake receipt b/c i had to prioritize reality. i let it go & let him get me home. but what a sad comment on business..did my best to see him as more human than he/they saw me.

[hilariousfilms]

GOOD JOB!!!!!

[BarrysDaughter]

did they charge you less on the phone then?

xxxJoolsxxx

[musicsloth11]

Lol , thats frustrating. Diddent he see that the camera was on him? Wouldent he say something bout that? or u probably hid it lol

[hilariousfilms]

LOL when he said "You like it?" and Iman said "Yeah it looks good" WATCH the guy's facial expression. WOW. 0:43

[rybread78]

[kdtheballa]

Damn I don't see how he made it out of the apartment. Ya'll handled it with kids gloves we don't play that here because we wouldv'e jacked him up and told the people at his company why we did it. Press charges my ass.

[TaLLiEMeNTaLiTy]

what he tried to do was get the Cash out of you guys at the rate of 35 cents per square inch, and pay the company the 20 cents per square inch and keep the extra 15 cents per square inch Cash for himself...lol penny penching..but thats 150$ extra for him if your place is 1000 square feet so good thing you wanted everything ITEMIZED lol...he tried to play ya'll & got PLAYED aaaaaah i could see the SALTINESS in his face when he left...let them try to play ME like that...it'll be game over

[Jacklynuh]

Exactly!

[ArchangelNetwork1]

OH SNAP! i think mr.service man fed the lion

[TaLLiEMeNTaLiTy]

[whatsnextnow19791]

Turn him into a Fox2 problem solvers type of thing! Yall did great undo work! Scam no more jackass! I hate people who try to bank off peoples ignorance, especially people who are too smart for that, it's just so sad. Iman, you should said to him after you kicked him out, "u-za-ho" LOL!

[MoonDoggiez]

Alpha, your my idol :)

[Ktpap28]

Iman you show him whos boss!
