Thumbs down GE water softener deal

I guess many have had a knock on the door by this contractor to sell a GE brand unit.

I was approached by him via a phone call through a welcome basket person.

I was to receive a $25 HD gift card if he cound drop off a brochue and & explain the system.

I love HD......so sure stop by.

Who is Peter Forness, he put him self out as a GE employee, a trusted name, so U R dealing with GE not a contractor.....not true.

He gave my a line about the filters and I said ok I'll think about it give me my gift card for $25.

OOOOH no can't unless I test your water it takes an hour.

Anyway the BS pitch went on for now over 5 minutes and I had stuff to do so I said take some water and report back....nope can't do that...

I said goodby, don't let the door hit U in the butt.

He wanted $5000 for the unit.

Last night I was at a party and met a few people that was also tagged with this guy, they were quoted $7500, then after not bitting on that deal a followup call was $5,000.

Another person was quoted $4,000.

So even if U assume $4,000 was the lowest there R home owners that got RIPPED OFF paying $7500.

Did anyone else go thru this and should a complaint be filed?
