Sanchez is helping Brochu sell her home. She posted about the situation online and believes Brochu is the victim of a scam.
But neither woman knows what the scam is.
it’s simple.
[steal the drive way]
[offer to repair the drive way]
[charge inflated prices]
[use high pressure sales tactics to scare them into what happens if it doesn’t go through]
[reinstall the old dive way]
[put lien on house]
[find reasons to drive the price up and delay work]
Actually, you’ve gotten that almost completely wrong. What they wanted to steal was not the driveway; they wanted to steal the contractor (driveway replacement worker)'s money. They pretend to be the owner looking for a driveway replacement, “accidentally” pay too much, ask for the surplus money back, and then do a chargeback on everything they paid. In this case the contractor went ahead before realizing they’ve been scammed. Experienced contractors ask for an in-person meeting or proof of ownership.
Never mind. It’s just my app. I though Sync was good. 😭
It doesn’t support nested lists, which I couldn’t tell you had done because it looked so bad in my app. Sorry.
I see what it is. You’re technically supposed to have a blank line before the start of your list. The Lemmy website doesn’t care, but I guess Sync does.

whats funny is that is lemmy markdown. (I looked it up cuz i couldn’t remember if it was '1. 'or '1) ’ to start . that said it could simply be that Sync formats the lists differently. Dunno. I use liftoff! on my phone without complaints.
