Not everybody agrees with a plumber's bill nor how much the plumber charges. Consumer disagreements are common even when the professional does a good job. Some plumbers, however, do worse than a poor job. They outright try to scam their customers. One plumber attempted to pull a fast one and ran into an unexpected stop sign. This crazy tale was so wild that it made the news.

Elderly folks in Johnson City, Tennessee weren't too thrilled with the actions of a local plumber. One woman found herself in tremendous debt paying the plumber for repairs. Allegedly, the plumber charged her for work she didn't need.

The woman took out a credit card and home equity cash advances to cover the bills. The final amount totaled in the thousands. Collectively, the elderly group claims they were duped out of $100,000.
