HIGHLAND | Highland police are warning region residents of a duct cleaning scam after a local businessman claimed his customers were being duped by a phony company.

George Siemer of Siemer Heating & Cooling in Highland said he got a call from a regular customer last week telling him she received a call from someone claiming to be from his company and offering a special on duct cleaning.

The woman did not recognize the voice on the phone or the phone number from which the person called and hung up, Siemer said.

The following day, another customer called Siemer's business asking what time they were planning to come by for duct cleaning, saying he was going to have to leave for an appointment. Siemer told the man he did not schedule a cleaning with his company, advised him not to let anyone into his home and went to the man's home to confront the alleged scammers.

Siemer also called Highland police, who documented the incident in a police report.

According to police, Siemer confronted a man who said he was a technician in the 8700 block of Parkway Drive. The man said he received a text from his boss with a work order to come to the home. He arrived in a white Chevrolet cargo van with the words "First Duct Cleaning" on the side.

A Highland police officer confronted the technician, who showed him the text message directing him to the address. The technician called his boss and an officer spoke to the man who denied representing himself as working for or with any other company.

Police advised the man, who gave a business and home address in Skokie, Ill., not to use any other company's name. The man agreed and said he would advise employees to the do the same.

Cmdr. George Georgeff of the Highland Police Department said further investigation by the city revealed First Duct Cleaning Services is not licensed to do business in Highland. That issue is being reviewed by the city's building inspectors, he said.

The Better Business Bureau of Northern Indiana has logged 30 complaints against First Duct Cleaning Services, which has an F rating with the BBB. Of the 30 complaints, 24 were for problems with the product or service, four were for advertising or sales issues, one for billing or collection issues and one for warranty or guarantee issues.

Police warn of duct cleaning scam

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) January 22, 2015

Air-Care, a division of DPL Enterprises specializing in indoor air quality for over 35 years has launched a new product called the Bio Cart HEPA-UVC that is a dust containment cart with unique benefits for maintenance technicians working in ceiling spaces of sensitive areas such as healthcare facilities and clean rooms. "The Bio Cart HEPA-UVC has significant advantages in dust control, containment strategy and convenience of operation compared to other carts on the market," says Air-Care President, Richard Papaleo. "I am very proud to announce that this is the only containment cart with a power lift and folding bellows to mate with the ceiling in an effortless manner." Papaleo continued that the addition of a 3 segment ladder that can remain in the cart during transport, saves time on the job site and the exclusive UVGI lamps in the HEPA filtered air scrubber provide additional protection to patients and personnel in sensitive areas of hospitals and other medical facilities that often require containment when working above the ceiling tile.

We have found other carts lacking in features and convenience of operation, said Wayne Tracy, Field Operations Manager. Not only is the Bio Cart easily moved through doors and elevators, but its 3 section extension ladder that reaches 13 foot ceilings and collapses down to 6 ft to store inside the cart, saves a trip to the engineering department," Tracy added. The Bio Cart is designed with input from the wish lists of technicians who rather spend time on maintenance tasks, not setting up required containment units.

The Bio Cart has contractors anxious to place orders," said Mary Dziak, marketing manager of Air-Care. They love the professional look, easy set up and features just not available on other containment carts on the market today."

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary responded to the collision around 8:15 a.m. and said the vehicle driven by a 28-year-old woman appeared to have lost its brakes before running into the wall.

Police officers determined there was no insurance coverage on the car and the driver was issued tickets for not having insurance, driving a vehicle with defective equipment and her car was impounded.

An unidentified man was killed late Tuesday night after slamming a vintage car into a residential wall in Lake Forest after deputies suspect he was speeding with alcohol and drugs in his system, officials said.

Orange County Sheriff's Department officials responded to the crash shortly before 11:30 p.m. on Lake Forest Drive, east of Queensbury Drive.

When authorities arrived, a 1960s model, red Ford Mustang convertible was engulfed in flames and the driver inside was trapped, sheriff's Lt. Jeff Hallock said.

Once the man was pulled from the car, he was pronounced dead.

A preliminary investigation suspected the man, who police believe was under the influence of alcohol and drugs, was driving westbound on Lake Forest Drive when he swerved and went over a raised median before driving across the opposite lanes and onto a sidewalk, Hallock said.

Investigators said he slammed into a block wall that separates the sidewalk from the backyard of an adjacent home, which sustained damage from the wall debris and car crash.

He was partially ejected from the car and may have not been wearing a seat belt at the time, Hallock said.

No other injuries were reported.

Due to extensive burn, officials will have to run available fingerprints and/or dental records to positively identify the driver, Hallock said.
