BBB and Morris-Jenkins Warn of Imposter Companies Scamming Customers

CHARLOTTE -- The Better Business Bureau is warning people of an air duct cleaning company posing as Morris-Jenkins.

The company operates under many different names, including A-1 Any Time Duct Cleaning, Green Air Care and ABC Green Air Care and has scammed dozens of Charlotte-area customers out of thousands of dollars.

"They're trying to evade being caught, evade responding to complaints," said Maryanne Dailey with the Better Business Bureau. "Green Air is not even located in our area."

But Morris-Jenkins has been in Charlotte since 1958, and the Green Air Care business is using the company's good reputation to gain victims' trust.

"I felt that the customers were being taken advantage of, and in many cases it's our elderly customers," said Dewey Jenkins, owner of Morris-Jenkins. "This is a despicable bunch of people who would even consider doing this."

Jenkins sent a letter to customers this week, warning them of the scam.

If you need work done in your home, the Better Business Bureau recommends getting multiple bids from different companies, asking for references and making sure the company has the proper licensing and permits.

Also, they say do not be pressured into setting up an appointment at your home by anyone who calls.
