Yet I saved my mom and later my landlady by insisting on reading the contract they were about to sign. In my mom's cause she bought a condo, and cable/phone contract was to bill her for services the previous owner had but she did not have or need. In the case of my landlady, she thought she had a money back offer on a new furnace if she did not like it. But the fine print showed she would own them for removal of the old furnace and the installation/removal of the new old if she did not like it. I knew something was fishy since they kept trying to get her to sign the paperwork despite the fact they could not come for a couple of days to do the work. Their way would cost her $4000 even if she decided she did not want to kept their furnace, turns out she just needed a new motor that cost her $150.
