A local current affairs TV program recently "outed" a pest control company for termite "insertion." With the use of hidden cameras and a willing elderly bunny the bent pest inspector was lured to a home to do an inspection. While he was under the house "inspecting" the cameras clearly captured him (the owner of the business) extracting the critters from a plastic bag in his pocket then quickly emerge to report the bad news to the elderly home owner. Much to his surprise he was confronted by a reporter and camera crew with some pretty hard video evidence of fraud, he made a pretty hasty exit in his car and is now under criminal investigation. It's pretty sad that this type of thing takes place and it's even worse that these people target the old and unsuspecting. The lesson here is that clearly you need to get a second quote on things you know nothing about, the problem is that with termites I would imagine it scares people so much that the house may just fall over that they focus in the fix at all costs.

The reality today is that bad people are doing all ways and means to earn bucks without thinking that they other people. Most of them are self-centered people. They deserved to be busted and be punished for doing harmful things.

Now that is not moral at all! I can't believe people would do something like that. Is that in Australia???
