They did the same thing to my daughter in NYC. They quoted her a price on the phone and when they came to her apartment the price was triple. Russians as well. They were also abusive to her on the phone. Glad you made this public.

[@KellyStamps]

Woooww. At first I felt bad making a video complaining about them and didn't want to seem prejudiced but respectfully f*ck them. I don't like them taking advantage of young women new to the city. Ugh

This sounds bad but as soon as I hear a Russian accent, I normally hang up or look for another business.

Please try to never be alone when repair men, movers, or delivery ppl come. The entire atmosphere changes... especially in NY. Or, try to call someone and tell them you need them to come home now. That is so dangerous.

I'm going to second this one, the world is too crazy now. A girl from my school here in FL was victim to a so-called repairman for her apartment, and we really have to be on guard everywhere

[@noirefit5954]

Living alone with a child, I always have my gun on me when repairmen are around. I typically will call my dad to come sit with me but I always have weapons around easy to reach. A hidden machete, a baseball bat, gun and taser. I’m not here for the shits!

[@imperviouus]

Agreed. If possible get a guy friend to be with you when they’re there. Men are pretty strange.

[@RighdaE]

I can't agree more. The handyman in my building is here every day so everyone knows him well for over a year. But just last week the plumber came who I've never seen before and through the door I told the guy that I wouldn't let him in until he came with the handyman that I know. Turns out it was the plumber, but better save than sorry.

[@KellyStamps]

Agreed. I had a distant male acquaintance and he bailed. I don’t go out of my way to make close friends with guys so I don’t know anyone reliable. This definitely could’ve been avoided otherwise!

[@siddiqahmad5193]

When you called Five-0 you should have said there's a man in my apt. who's here against my will. They'd go on to ask you circumstances, yada yada yada but emphasize the point that he's unwelcome and refuses to leave (trespass) and there's some threats etc. They'd show up, remove said individual and you'd still have your $200 bucks.

[@nadiasharnelle]

I agree! Even though he was calm, quiet and pretending he didn't speak English, he was right there in her presence. Like you said, I would've noted that he's in my residence and he refuses to leave unless I pay him money for services he didn't render and now his "boss" is threatening me.

[@HWTMPH]

There is no way I'd be paying them a dime. He's getting out of my apartment immediately, I'm opening the door, making a scene, and getting him to leave. When the cops ask if the assailant is there -- yes, this man trespassing in your apartment is currently an assailant. They can take me to small claims court later, but they're getting out of my apartment.

[@omnium_gatherum]

When you said you told the police that you were being "politely robbed" I was like "noooo, now they definitely won't take her seriously 😩" lol

[@danielj3010]

The whole language barrier is bullshit.. been there done that. Glad you are safe.

[@KellyStamps]

I’m glad because I was gonna fight anybody in the comments who disagreed 😂😂😂

[@helenatube]

Right. How on earth would someone work in NYC installing AC units and not know a lick of English? That's not even possible imo. No business can be successful in NYC like that. You might not speak English well, but to speak none at all when you need to go into stranger's homes all day? Sounds sketchy

[@araverse]

I came here expecting a humorous twist to the title. Sad to learn you experienced this. It’s horrible when scammers pick on the fact that someone is new in town and find an opportunity to dupe them. I’ve been taken advantage of in front of authorities and they didn’t do anything. So I always make sure whoever I know is new is protected and I’m always on their beck and call so these patterns can be broken of scamming the newbies.

I was supposed to have a very distant guy friend come stop by as a buffer be he flaked. I feel like half of this wouldn't have happened if the owner thought I lived with a scary dude. I blocked his number after this because I'm salty lol. My French girl friends are WAY more intimidating anyway.

[@araverse]

[@cynthiah.6564]

Girl you are too kind, I would have not even let the guy in without seeing the AC. But honestly being the New Yorker I am I would have brought the ac and had a door dasher drop it off and have a neighbor friend help me install it.

I'm sorry that happened to you. If you are too nice to people in NYC, then they tend to walk all over you. Just be firm and professional. Save jokes and familiarity for friends. Those "handymen" in NYC tend to listen to and respect men only. The Russians scammed me into a $6,000 mold remediation on my house in NYC, they basically preyed on the fact that I was a single woman. Always try to have a man with you when taking care of any car or home repair in NYC.

[@julief634]

You are absolutely 💯 correct. Living in NYC all my life this has happened to me many times. You can't be nice to anyone, save it for only people you know well. I learned the hard way to not be nice and cute. Funny thing though is when I get burned I flip and do a 180 on these mofos, they suddenly become afraid of me lol it works every time, they end up respecting you when you show you're not afraid of conflict. Russian and Israeli Mafia types are the ones to watch out for here in NYC with their scams and gaslighting. Horrible people to do business with.

[@JustCallMeInsane]

Red flags were there when he wouldn't say who he worked for. I am so sorry this happened, but hopefully this helps others from getting into situations like this. 😭

[@0Eliza0]

Also...in nyc don’t engage with anyone that calls you and your instinct tells you that you are caught off guard and something is wrong.

Let this be a lesson -- just go with Home Depot next time. LOL! As a life long New Yorker, we already know not to install an AC in the fire escape window. But how were you supposed to know? I'm surprised you didn't get this in the documentation when you moved in, especially for how much you're paying. I moved into a $1,000 studio in the South Bronx a few years back, and even they (management) had a leaflet telling me what I was and was not allowed to do in the apartment. Installing an AC blocking the fire escape was on that list of DO NOT DO's. However -- so long as you deal only with your building's handyman from now on, you should be ok. I would get on good terms with him straight away since you don't have any reliable guy friends. Be safe out there -- and good luck!

[@cjgmc1]

Welcome to NY sweetie. Sorry you had to experience this and glad that you are safe. Some of these guys can get aggressive. I don't believe that his boss was coming anyplace. It was a scare tactic. Happy that you have your AC. NY has been brutal the last week. Though many folks don't comply with the A/C laws, the fire escape should be kept clear in the event of an emergency. Enjoy your apartment, and enjoy NY. You will never have a dull moment in NY. Peace and Love.

Way less expensive and you get the added satisfaction of accomplishing a task you think is difficult until you do it and realize it’s easy! self confidence booster ❤️ Also, for future reference (aside from fire hazards) never install an AC in the fire escape window because someone could come remove the AC and come in through that open window. Glad you have AC now!

Just keep an eye on the platform as a whole because I'd hate for it to abandon you after all the hard work you've put in.

They create a situation where you will pay SOMETHING just to avoid what you think MIGHT happen. Wish I could give you a hug 🥺 ...but it's too hot out for that lol 😂 P.S. You did NOT say at the end "I rather get a lil crispy..." I HOLLERED!

Why were you responsible for installing an A/C? Don't you have a landlord who would do that?

List the company

The fact that he wouldn’t leave is really crazy 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@KmChx_MX]

Ikr, I would’ve tapped into my mentally unstable alter ego and just start biting at him, screeching, and beat him with the pizza slice. Then immediately go to the store and grab some weapons and anything similar. Come up here again and get WRECKED.

Ok apartment tour please why is this the ultimate apartment? B/c of the amenities ? The laundry is not in the apartment? I

[@bethe9806]

The building people had no names of reputable people to recommend? Surely others in the building have AC. Tell them this story so they can warn others and maybe have a safe system in place. Young girl alone should not be dealing with this. So very glad you are okay.

Here here!

[@KellyStamps]

Yeah it was the holiday weekend and nobody was in the office unfortunately and they literally never even responded to my email when I asked for a reputable air conditioner company. Shitty management

[@trichmomma]

The scam wasn't making you pay for a service and appliance you didn't get. The scam was getting you to pay the $200 to get him to leave.

[@arlynthevision9501]

Girl you need some friends. I can be your friend. Got some other friends that will help you build a whole house for free.

You should be at a million and better right now in subscribers... but you changed from being your quirky self for a while .. it’s the old saying .. if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it ...and the other old saying .. the same way you got em’ is the same way you keep em’ Fine that you changed and grew up-if you were going for a different audience (because you’re grown now and on a new level) then start from zero and start a new page 🤷🏽‍♀️ You’re clearly in it for the money (all the plugs/advertisements)- AND ITS EVIDENT

[@KellyStamps]

Hmm, same old story, we get clout overnight and get high paying ads to pay our bills and some say we changed. I literally *have to do ads* every months to pay rent. This is a business. I'm the same person and you actually don't know me. You're understandably jealous that I don't have to suffer like I used to and I understand but don't care. If I didn't do ads I would be working a normal job and there would be no KZbin channel. (Maybe one video a month.) Instead, I'm in my posh apartment happy as can be and doing my life purpose and you're trying to convince me to give up ads which pays my bills to be authentic and go back to the "old me" working min wage and still relatable.There's nothing you can do to stop this cycle other than to stop the entertainment business as a whole. It's always going to be unfair, sorry! You can choose to break the cycle and continue to support or go find another budding creator then complain when he/she blows up and continue the cycle.

[@aprilapril5462]

Hey, I’m not jealous at all. Trust me. You have nothing I don’t already have or can not get. I get it, the ads pay the bills.. but don’t have to sell your soul for money, ever! A posh apartment means nothing when It’s no one to come home to. In addition, you can get your money and be relatable - it’s called balance Do more interesting and funny content like you use to - which got you those plugs/ads- some of your videos are mainly just ads - and often you wouldn’t do a new video unless it was an ad involved - you lost the passion and was just a slave to the dollar .. it was like watching a freaking 10-15 minute commercial. I’m not your friend or a star crazy fan - so I wont kiss your a$$ - I’m telling you straight up. Constructive criticism- that’s all.

[@shannendunham8666]

He just wanted his money for coming sis …smfh 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@brokenegg4714]

kelly, you should've slammed that door right in their face.

[@ShalomSarahJoy]

Listening to stories from out-of-towners makes me realize how grateful I am to have been born in NYC. This would never happen to me. But then again, it works vice versa: I now live in the suburbs and don’t know how to survive out here (used to doing thing on my own rather than delegating or knowing how to maintain a whole house rather than a simple apartment like lawn maintenance, everything is more expensive because there’s less competition, places closing on Sundays instead of open 24/7, having to drive everywhere, etc). I’m more scared to be out here alone at night (no street lamps or consistent sidewalk paving, woods, no other human for miles) than NYC streets (street lamps, side walk, signs of life because people everywhere, etc).

[@SnozBerryQueen]

Damn....thx for sharing this. Such an interesting perspective of city vs suburban living.

[@Donald-c2z]

Wealthy people problems $4000 a month and no AC already SAD

[@SlimDeeZuL]

I was Fully Engaged while listening. 🤔 GLad you didn't get physically robbed. BLame it on The 4th of JuLy weekend. Stay Safe Grandma Stamps. 👵🏽

[@escobarines]

I think you can edit or flag the "business" on Google Maps so that it is removed. The scammers will list it somewhere else but at least it's something. Crazy how many people were involved.
