I told him I didn't like paying in advance and he encouraged me to ask my neighbors about his reliability. I did and two neighbors said he was very good. So I gave him a check for one year.

Three months later he was out of business. I think there were over 100 complaints that were filed with Seniors Against Crime but no money was ever recovered.
