Caller: "Queensland Home Care" No message left - the above company is affiliated with or a subsidiary of Kirby Vacuums, USA - a cult-like multi level marketing vacuum cleaner manufacturer or agent. They pressure-sell people to buy their appliance at the weirdly amazing starting price of $3,000, gradually knocking this price down to $1,200, according to a Google reviewer I recently read. All this is going on while they give you a "free" two hour demonstration in your home, cleaning 1 room or sofa. Obviously the word "free" is the hook. I wonder how thorough Queensland Home Care's background checks are before sending total strangers into homes, considering they are constantly advertising for new staff. This alone tells you what kind of employer sorry, contractors they are. They also prey on people who maybe on low incomes or pensions/benefits - the extremely pushy young woman who knocked on our door a few weeks ago conned my partner into giving her his phone number and asked him "what do you do during the day?" and "what is your partner's name?" Why are these questions necessary to sell vacuum cleaners ? Bizarre. Beware.

Caller: Queensland Home Care - Kirby This number and 8 others have been harrassing me for two weeks after someone gave them my number. They pressured the woman who gave them my number into buying a vacuum cleaner and are now trying to do the same to me. Asking to come to my house and repeatedly call again and again if I do not answer. We have asked them not to call back but have continued to call off multiple numbers every day since. Beware. Do not let these scammers in your house.
