They came across multiple problems (which also exist), and offered to repair everything immediately for a (substantial) additional fee. They were done quickly, after which I transferred the money via a machine. It soon became apparent that the cleaning and repairs had not been carried out at all (or hardly at all); the company cannot be found and no one answers the telephone number. I have reported it to the police, but they cannot do anything because 'companies are free to determine their own price'. Can this company be prosecuted, so that they do not make more victims? And is there a possibility that I will get my money back?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nThat will be difficult because you already notice that the police do not really want to work on it. Do you have an address or name? Fraud can also be tackled through civil law. Incidentally, there is also a great chance that you will lose more money and the perpetrators, even after a conviction, will still not pay you back.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55003056669021,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-76240-wat-te-doen-bij-bedrog-door-een-malafide-bedrijf-voor-reinigen-dakgoot","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
