PSA: If you are going re-paint my house number on the curb without permission...

[OCGuy]

Please make sure it is the right f*cking house number. Good thing i'm not having a package delivered or ordering a pizza anytime soon :|

 

[Orsorum]

Have a :beer: on me.

lol, I hate that crap.

 

[IGBT]

it's a long running scam. if they don't have a contract to do work on your curb/property they are in violation.

I dont mind throwing them a couple bucks, but the guy seriously couldnt understand why I wasnt giving him money when they changed my house number from 1XXX to 2XXX.

Supposedly they are "coming back tonight to fix it."

 

[Spacehead]

Yeah, who's doing this... just a random person? I wouldn't sweat it, house numbers are out & GPS is in nowdays.

DrPizza's rule #11247 in life:
Don't piss off scammers who know where you live, have visited your house, and have a can of spray paint.

 

[JulesMaximus]

You know, you can buy a stencil and a can of black spray paint for less than $20 and do it yourself...if you wanted to. Mine wore off years ago but I don't care. You can easily read the house number that's actually on the house from the street.

Yeah but now people can easily go and hussle cash out of you for stupid jobs all because of the "we know where you live" threat

LOL!

I had never experienced this until moving to New Mexico. I felt bad for the guy, so I gave him 10 bucks.

It did look nice.... No overspray. I hate that.

I told all my neighbors to question the perp about a contract. Our neighborhood is no longer badgered with the address grifter.

 

[duragezic]

Wait, what?

So y'all city folk have people who come to spraypaint your house number on the curb outside your home, then come ask you for money?

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Just move the house to the proper address.
