These two Hispanic fellows showed up at my house with mulch and grass seed and offered to redo my grass area in front of the house. The bags of mulch he was using had small premeasured amounts of mulch and there were no markings of any kind on the bags. He told me 8$ per bag. He offered to do a test area so I said ok. When I came back out they had covered about a 9x9 area. I kept asking how much for the whole yard...repeatedly!! He hemmed and hawed giving me prices and I just kept saying what’s the total?!?! Somehow we settled on 150.00 which is way high because last year my own gardener did the same work for 80.00. I really wanted to get this done because my lawn looked like crap.. When I asked to get a receipt for the 150.00 the 2nd guy gives me a bill saying I owe another 280! They said they’ll come next week and I told them that was WAY too much. Also I believe these fellows work for some large entity because the size of the unmarked bags was smaller than any bag of mulch and there were no identifying trademarks on the truck or supplies, so they’re just trying to hustle people out of cash. I feel so angry and played. I have no plan to give these guys anymore money if and when they show up. Any suggestions how to handle them if they come back? It’s the worst feeling to get played by scammers. I’m on a very small income trying to keep my house maintained. People like this give me a stomach ache.
