Default Scammers ??

2 men came to the door today. I wasn't home. My husband answered the door. They had a card saying Pardo Tree trimmimg & Landscaping. They had obviuosly walked around our house unnoticed as they mentioned specific trees that needed trimming. They must have been very quiet as my 2 dogs bark incessantly even when they hear the neighbors across the street they know and love coming and going. With all we have been hearing it's Very unnerving.
Bothering me too that it could be someone just trying to make an honest buck. Not the way to get my business though. Has anyone heard of or used this company.
Pretty insulted too I love my yard and do most all the work myself. Hmmm Maybe the neighbors sent them??????

Isn' there, a no soliciting rule, for TV?

I would have reported them to community watch, as an episode of this nature happened, a couple of days ago, and they were stopped by community watch, as they were going around the neighborhood.

The sherriff should be invovled, if they were breaking the law, like trespassing.

I would never do business with someone, who was this agressive, but that's me.

I'm sure there is, but these guys probably were soliciting for other things!!! They might have done a job, and then start to manipulate the neighborhood. (Like getting your attention, while the other guy goes to the back door and breaks in quick??) They show you how trees should be trimmed etc while other guy is in your house
