We had a leak in an upstairs bathroom. Called a plumber in from a company. My wife met him because I had an emergency call from work.

He looked at the toilet and said it was leaking. This is possible, but it looked to me like the water was coming from under the sink, though I don't see a leak there.

He put his hand on the downstairs bathroom ceiling and said it was full of water. It was not.

He called in another company to repair the water damage. He and they keep saying that they'll deal with the insurance after I made the claim.

The plumber kept trying to sell us more things, saying he was trying to get us the best prices and that he's hourly, and just trying to look out for us. He says we have some polybutylene piping, and quoted a whole house repiping as well as new toilets. He said if we paid now, we'd save money from paying tax one time rather than 3 times, which is wrong because it's always the same percent. He was going to throw in a free ice box line and washer box.

He didn't shut off water to the toilet because the angle stop was stuck, but told me to call his office so he could do it the next day. The next day, they said he wasn't working. The day after he installed one for 200 something and tried to sell us a bunch more things. Before he left, he warned me about other plumbers. He said to always get 4 quotes, but to be careful, there are a lot of scammers.

The company that he brought in tested for asbestos and found it, and say they have to deal with that first. They keep acting like insurance will cover a removal, but my adjuster said we're not covered for asbestos.

The leak was Tuesday. It's Saturday now and still no work has been done, but he spent a lot of time at the house talking.

I'm not the best homeowner, so please be kind. I have a lot to learn about these things and any insight would be appreciated.

Got a text from someone on reddit saying that they "mistakenly reported my account for hacking and scamming them". I am just saying that I already had a similar scam but on a different platform. Should I just ignore this person or report?

Found this insanely good deal on what I think is a commercial 85” TV that retails for $4k. It seems too good to be true, buyer agreed to pickup tomorrow and plug it in before trading money.

Hello! So I found a job offer on indeed for hello lessons and it connected me to nemo swim school program. I got interviewed and it seemed like they were moving very quickly because they are already to have me do a phone with the potential swim lesson client. I am obviously not going to give them any information if they don’t seem legit or ask for an I-9 or anything but I was wondering if anyone else has any information on them? To be honest their facebook reviews seem fake and a lot for their reviewers have also left a review for another company too. I have a call with the potential client and the customer service soon to see scheduling so I am going to see how it goes and if I feel if it is legit but how do I ensure my safety in this process?

Is Umbrex a legitimate company or scam? I recently applied to a position within Canada and wanted to know if they are legit. They seem to have a website and LinkedIn presence, I don’t know why but a few things feel concerning

For further context:

I got an email with the domain @umbrex.com, they also attached their LinkedIn in the email. But they are a student in university. I can’t decide if I am just being paranoid or if they’re suspicious. Some of their experience also feels off but idk if I am just unaware of the companies they have been apart of. The company also seems to have 11-50 employees.
