In the 7 years we have been here we have been lucky not to have been scammed and we have hired contractors who have been fair. However, I have to say that when we moved in we did purchase a system from one of these people much to my regret later. What was interesting and should have been a red flag was when this women was in the house another water treatment company called me and I told them that I was purchasing from another company. Then he started to tell me that I should check with the police about the owner of this company's criminal record. This went on for a couple of phone calls. In any case I purchased this system and it was working fine until last year when it somehow broke and produced discolored water in all my faucets and my ice maker. I then called another plumber who was recommended on TOTV and he managed to clear out my lines and I purchased a system from Sears which he installed.
As an aside to all this when I purchased my original water system I did receive a lot of laundry soap and bath soaps as a "gift". We are still using them.
The wife of my cousin who lives here also worked for that "Welcome Wagon" company and they are legit. She no longer works for them.
