Son confronts salesman for 'selling confused mum £6k doors'
Angry son confronts salesman for selling his dementia suffering mum £6000 of doorsMoment an angry son confronts double-glazing company that sold his 81-year-old mother two doors for nearly £6,000 when all she needed was a £50 handle
Dominic MacMahon claims 81-year-old mother was taken advantage of
Dr Heather Collins 'persuaded to pay £6,000 for new front and back doors
But all she wanted was the front door handle at Essex home fixed
Double glazers Zenith Staybrite Ltd are conducting internal investigation A son has accused a double-glazing company of 'preying on the elderly' after he discovered his vulnerable mum had been sold two doors for nearly £6,000 when all she needed was a £50 handle.
Dominic MacMahon claimed double-glazing company Zenith Staybrite Ltd had taken advantage of his 81-year-old mother Dr Heather Collins.
Dr Collins was cold-called by the the company on Monday evening and told the rep the handle on her front door was loose and needed fixing.
The following day a salesman arrived and spent about two-and-a-half hours with the widow, who gets confused about what day of the week it is and needs the support of three part time carers so she can live independently.
The day after the sale, Mr MacMahon confronted the Zenith Staybrite Ltd salesman and filmed the encounter, left and right, before posting it to Facebook where it went viral
Dr Collins, a grandmother of two, was persuaded to hand over a cheque for an eye-watering £5,743.73 for a new front door and backdoor which Mr MacMahon says were simply 'not needed'.
The insurance broker from Colchester, Essex, returned the following day and filmed the salesman who was back at the retired GP's home.
He can be seen confronting the salesman - who is sat in Dr Collins' front room - who claims he was unaware the pensioner was suffering from dementia-like symptoms.
Mr MacMahon puts a string of questions to the rep who denies any wrongdoing.
The company confirmed this afternoon that an internal investigation had been launched but refused to comment any further.
The five-and-a-half minutes of footage was posted to Facebook just yesterday but has already been viewed more than 250,000 times with many left fuming by what they have seen.

Mr Macmahon, 50, pictured during the confrontation, called for tighter controls on companies after claiming they 'took advantage' of his elderly mother
Mr MacMahon, 50, has called for tighter controls on companies and charities who he claims take advantage of elderly and vulnerable members of the public.
Speaking this morning from his mother's home, also in Colchester, he said: 'I needed to emphasise to people what this man had done.
'I was very angry but by being able to put the footage online and tell other people what is going on makes more of a difference.
'This is one case - how many other people are going through this? People who don't have anybody to look after them like mother does.
'What we are hoping to do is make sure other vulnerable people are protected from this type of sale.'
He slammed the salesman for concluding the deal with Dr Collins - who lives alone and is easily confused about who people are and what they might be doing in her home.
He said: 'The salesman's behaviour is unbelievable - how can you treat another human being that way? How can he look himself in the face after he does that to a vulnerable old lady.
'As my mum was writing out that cheque for nearly £6,000, what was going through his head? Did he think this was the right thing to do?
'It's not sales - it's preying on older people and it's not acceptable in our society.
'Mum struggles with time and quantity - she has no idea what the implications of signing a cheque for £6,000 are.
'She actually thought she had bought two door handles for nearly £6,000
'If that money had gone - it would have directly compromised her ability to pay for her own carers.'
Mom raised a proper man, and now she reaps the rewards of her hard work.
More power to the Son.
Yeah I'm sure dad gets credit for that.
@Eric Hamilton bullshit. My mother was the biggest influence on my life. Taught me right from wrong and to always take responsibility for my actions.

Jordan Barrett can tell*
When you accuse someone of something that is morally reprehensible on this level (preying on defenseless people), and they do NOT get angry, that is a 9:1 shot that they've done it.
It depends on the "angry"...there's the ultra obvious fake anger that so many people like this would do and then there's genuine shock and anger.
Yep look at interrogations with guilty people. They get sheepish and give very long answers because they're reasonably being asked such questions. Innocent people are forceful and short.
People accuse me of being morally reprehensible at my job for opening up credit lines for people. It's my job, if someone accuses me of it I don't care. It's my job. You might be mad but I genuinely don't care. I get mad when my boss rides my ass for not doing it.

In my opinion he isn't. You should never have someone with dementia living on their own and she needs a power of attorney to handle her finances. She's a sitting duck out in the community for all manner of predators.

Top 10s Very much doubt it, they already signed a contract and he installed the doors. He came back to swindle more.
She might. It's illegal to coerce a signing of a contract. I'm not a lawyer, but getting someone to sign a contract who isn't able to consent may fall into that category.
Lou Lenehan a contract with someone who isn't competent is not legally binding. Contracts with minors have to be backed up by patents. Also the contract that no payment had to be made until installation was done
+Roger Tully Not sure about the UK but I'm sure it's similar to the U.S. Here contracts are not binding if the person not in coherent state of mind such as being in drugs or having a crippling mental disorder.
how is the son so damn calm? I wouldn't be able to compose myself
Darren R good thing he was though because he looks like a hero now
The son was so calm because he realizes that flying off the handle would be counter productive.
What should he have done? Assaulted the bottom feeding asshat so that police have to come and arrest him for the assault? How will that help his mum?
Darren R he acted perfectly. He wasn't threatening in anyway although you could hear in his voice he was on the edge lol

thats sad
If an elderly family member has dementia or just isn't as "quick" as they were when they were younger, you need to take control of their finances to protect them from predators. Technology has made it incredibly easy for scammers to target the vulnerable population of our society.
I agree to an extent that if an elderly family member suffers from dementia you should take some form of control, having a grandmother that suffers from it. However, this comment seems pretty insensitive to the fact that that sales companies prey on people with dementia because not every person om the planet has the time and/or resources to provide that level of care for that member/multiple members of family. What you really need to be thinking is 'wow any person with a shred of human decency wouldn't take 6000 quid from an 81 year old woman without proper justification and conformation'. Not one to be rude to people usually but if you're a reasonably well formed human you should realise the fault isn't with anyone but the people praying on the vulnerable.
@UCnkx_oyDPLBeb996CO2MdDg no fucking shit not once in his comment was he denying that this sack of garbage isnt going around preying on confused elderly people so no he isnt insensitive to your situation hes speaking in general, this comment seems overly sensitive that you misunderstood what he was trying to say in the first place and you twisted it to make it seem as if hes not acknowledged the fact this asshole in the video is doing is wrong we all know it is its self explanatory we dont need you to swoop in with your dumb lttle estrogen filled tantrum telling us what is obvious like it gives you any merit whatsoever so next time keep such a worthless opinion to yourself

maybe he cant do anything about that. hes probably just doing his job and trying to feed his family and has not much choice to do something else.
The companys are the problem who forces their employees do scam or go home. In germany this is like a standard procedure. Sellers are more or less forced to sell a specific brand to get bonus payments. That means in germany you cant trust any seller in a store.
I heared from people working on an insurance. They left the job because they were forced to scam half a million € of a woman who was left alone after her man dies. They left the job, did an anonymously call in the radio and told the complete storry in the radio.
The companys are the scammer. They have the most money and need the least but wants to get the most.

When your mother was dealing with a repair person. You know these people prey on women and the elderly. Why didn't you field a phone call and talk to the man and ask the cost and for what service? Your mother is 85. You should have dealt with this. Your mother should have been drinking tea and crocheting while YOU fixed her door or made the arrangements. At the very least been a part of it via telephone, where you could have video chatted and been clear about the repair and cost terms. It's resolved, again good on you but I think you should have been looking out for mom earlier."
@@1920benjamin he is correct. where was he when his elderly mother needed a door repair? he could have, at the very least if he wasn't going to do it himself or hire the person himself, got on the phone and facetimed with the guy to see the door and get the estimate if he lives far away. this is common sense, or so i thought.
That sakesman is nothing more than a common thief in a suit . Its as bad as mugging someone in the street
To be honest, this is why whenever I get cold called, by door or by phone I say no, even if it's something I want.

The old man died shortly after, and the old lady had to sell the house. Then a newly married couple moved in. And one of the first things they did was replace the windows.

I'm a door to door salesman. In particular we are told whenever there's elderly at the door we ask if there's anyone else like a son, daughter or other concerned person to talk to. If there isn't then we usually don't try sell them! This company has terrible conduct, absolutely disgusting!
No don’t do this as their family members may be also taking advantage of them and could also be conning them out of money. I’m a carer and we are not allowed to listen to family members as it is the elderly person paying for our services and they are capable of making up their own minds, they don’t want to be patronised by other people making their decisions and they want to keep their independence. Just because they are elderly we shouldn’t treat them like children. Us carers only involve family members when they have lost mental capacity such as dementia.
@@BB95 We play it by ear. I have sold to older people who for certain were sharp enough to know what they buying. But if there's a need for product and the person has obvious difficulties we try find the most responsible guardian. We can only judge what we can in the time we have with them, and we never take advantage of them.
"If there isn't then we USUALLY don't try sell them". You actually wrote that?

doors are actually fairly exspensive depending on what type you get, I recently installed 2 very nice etched glass front doors for 3k a piece on the doors alone not the labor. Granted this was for people who had the money and wanted all new doors and windows in their house and the best quality. The point is that quality isn't cheap.

Fair play buddy, nice to know good people out there
Good stuff 🤟🏽
That adjustment sometimes takes only 2 minutes to complete on a multipoint lock, if even that long.. or even if the Multipoint lock has completely ceased to function, it's only £100 or so to entirely replace it.. and the handle can be replaced for £10 and it's only 2 scews with ready made holes, that's a 30sec job.. I will do it for her for free! The poor lady.. great son though
Nothing worse than pressurizing an old women.
Chris Watson woman*
Said your mum...never! OWowowoow
+Brian Callan The fuck is a "mum"?
its mum spelt backwards duh
Brian Callan mind = blown!
You are a fantastic son . Made me cry this video . Bless you . Thank you for exposing this numpty xx
You were very lenient , very . Respect to you sir .
Honestly the way he spoke to that thief is the epitome of being a mature adult. She isn't even my mom and I had a hard time not raging. I'm sure he thought the way I did, but amazing self-control. Nothing more vermin like in our society then preying on the elderly. I love how his mom stood proud at the end.
Well said, mate. Agree 100% with you.
@Jakey Boy Jacky Boy, you do sound like a little boy. Or are you just a man who sounds thick?
that 6K door better take people to Neverland.
Miagy 5 more like Narnia lol
600 to 700 for ruining your moms life
Miagy 5 narnia
Just not Michael Jackson’s Neverland. Cha’mone!
I was quoted £700 for a replacement door just three weeks ago
Mother and Son have a strong bond. Son deserves a huge respect for fighting for his mother. This is love ❤ ❤
‘I don’t want to shake your hand’
Wow, that change in the atmosphere is instant
That salesman's face when the son walked in is priceless.
+Captain R you're just commenting this on everything hoping someone will find you funny 😂
plot twist: the salesmen is her other son
that'd be a shite plot twist mate
+RZ Nb what the FUCK :)
LeanandG13 If it was my family, you could be right.
Bruce Willis was dead the whole time
LeanandG13 LOL
Bless Him What A Man, His A Blessing To His Mum! 👏
Love this. Absolutely love it. How I wish I could have done this for my mother-in-law. Sadly, she lived in another country and spoke a different language which made me rather impotent and unable to protect her in her 80s (with dementia) from being ripped off for virtually everything she owned. Including being convinced to donate 6,000 euros to a child she had never met (and who did not exist) for a kidney transplant. We must protect the vulnerable from people like this. Well done to this man for taking care of his mum and having the gumption to record and expose this villain.
My dumbass thought the video was about a guy selling a lady 6,000 doors
JojiniChazz 6000 pounds, its even more
JojiniChazz Hahahahaha
JojiniChazz l. You lucky he did not come to you. He would have sold you anything and everything lol.
This guy has sold his soul to the devil. Talking about a Bad deal. So so sad.
JojiniChazz same
The only way he got 6,000 from the old lady is by lying and tell her that the door is a passage way to go back in time!
It's $8046.24 US dollars.
possibly
@@jaydee7325 which makes no difference 🙈 thanks for the conversion rate
Respect to the son, so much self restraint. I was at my own desk shaking thinking if that was my own mother, it would have been over the second he had the nerve to try shake my hand.
Respect to him for keeping his cool and not slapping him about
As someone who had a stint in door-to-door sales, this is disgusting. We had a strict code of conduct when dealing with elderlies and if we saw or suspected any red flags that would give a hint of vulnerability we would leave them in piece. Sad that people like this ruin a profession that is tough, but can be very rewarding and teach valuable skills.
*peace
I work in sales, we are told we are not allowed to sell anyone that seems mentally impaired. Why? Because if they are, and we sell them its easy for the contract to be voided. Mentally impaired also includes temporary impairment, such as being drunk.
For sure. When there's something I really need, that I can't live without, that's absolutely fundamentally necessary for my wellbeing, I wait for someone to come to the door and offer it to me. Why shop around and consider my options when some guy is telling me it's good?
That's maybe a bit harsh, and I'm sure that some door-to-door salespeople are honest brokers providing a much needed product, but unfortunately the profession seems to offer a lot of rewards to people who are willing to be unscrupulous
Yeah don’t leave them in piece, maybe peace. So what did you do to the others who weren’t elderly? Rake them over the coals???
@@hrtlsbstrd like a $7,000 rainbow vacuum. Lol
1:40 when he nearly falls over with nerves lol
Ahahahaha
LOL !
I think he just tripped on the edge of a rug.
No, he tripped on his briefcase which was leaning against the chair he was sitting in. I'm glad he didn't fall over all the way into her glass fronted curio cabinet behind the chair. That would have been the icing on the cake for him!
Im sure it was the cat we seen when the video first started😂
i know the situation is bad in terms of what’s going on in the video but everytime the older women speaks it’s just so adorable🥺 i feel so bad for her though. i just love older people they are amazing
Good on you for exposing that man for what he is and well done for not hitting him i'm not sure if I could restrain myself like you did.
Guy is so nervous, trips on his suitcase😂🤣
Haha I missed that: 1:40
Son: "So why is it not safe"
Sleezy salesman: "It just opens"
hahahaha
ah yes the door appears to be made out of door
Damn! I've got a door that does that!
£6k bill coming your way
You do understand that doors made of door aren't very safe, ok? They need to be made of brick wall. If you have doors made of door, replace them with doors made of brick wall immediately.
@@nicbarrax76 damn how could I not realize 😂😂
@@greenman1411 oh right have you oh well then your gonna need all new doors throughout the house along with all new double glazed windows aswell and i will do you a good deal lets say £12000 all in and you even get this free pen with the company name on it now isnt that nice and oh look you can just sign right here with it too, isnt that nice now so wheres your check book now..lol..
"i couldnt tell she had dementia' as soon as they walked in i could tell she was going on tangents to herself practically the balls people have
Dude shows up in an expensive relaxed business suit, salesman knew he was fucked.
Someone tries playing my mom like this I couldn’t react so calmly. Props to this guy
You Keith's are something else man lol
Truth be told, they'd not leave without having a blue eye.
He's lucky if he walked out of there unscathed.
I love how they're just kicking off in front of her, as well as someone else being sat there filming.
this guy was so professional. he was very smart in speaking, someone else would have fucked him up.
very true, the guy dealt with it like a Don!
Very professional and armed with information, was almost like he does it for a living. Wouldn't surprise me if he was a journalist, I could never speak that well.
@@danieljohn2543 Plot twist: The guy is not the woman's son, he is also a door salesman trying to scare off the other guy so he can sell her ten grand doors.
It would be insulting to parasites to call this thing a parasite, just beyond belief....Stay safe out their peoples, the things are amongst us...
@@thejegg6973 buck feaners
Sussy
Never trust the pitta patter of a salesman/con artist.
They always butter you up first.
agree
I worked for this company when it was called zenith staybrite ( we was based in Brighton ).
We would be driven in a minibus around (I was 16) and pushed to get at least 5 'free quotes accepted'.
We would take the cards back to office and hand them in a pot to which the 'sales men' would go back out and turn that free quote into a sale by pushing people to buy.
I left after 2 weeks due to THIS kind of thing. We was even shown how to remove glass from a window with a credit card and was encouraged to show old people to scare them into buying / getting a quote for newer windows, guttering fascias soffits or door.
If she only has £6000 savings she shouldn't be paying for her care. however the salesman is a leach.
I hope my son has my back when I am this age! It’s really amazing how we take care of our kids when they are little and they take care of us when we are old!
Not with the way the current culture is going...
@@CoercedJab i agree. It's so sad.
I agree.
@@CoercedJab speak for your country plenty of races still hold those principals firmly
What's unfortunate is that many people have children with the sole reasoning that they will otherwise have no one to take care of them when they're old, as if children are some kind of investment you make with the obligation of returns later on. Then it's the child's fault for putting them in a home when he/she can't wait on them hand and foot amidst the busy lives we all have to live these days just to afford a roof over our heads and food on the table.
I'm one of 5, so my mom is fortunate enough to have that luxury once she hits that stage of life. Many aren't so lucky.
