    They ring up and offer free double glazing, if the place can be used as a
    "showpiece"

    Presumably it's a scam, I'm guessing they just want a foot in the door.
    Anyone know?

    You pay in advance, they will re-imburse *if* they use it is my
    understanding

    To right, pays you for the privelage :)

    I think the scam would work something like yes.

    You pay the glazing company , say 2.5k tohave the windows done. They then
    agree to give you a fee for every viewing of your house until it matches
    the amount paid. Except you will be lucky if the send one person round.

    There is no such thing as a free lunch.

  11. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    Utter, utter scam. Borrow your neighbour's bargepole tell the fuckers
    you'll make them a new ringpiece, never mind showpiece.
