Good Neighbor Service Smart
In the Daily Sun a couple days ago, there was an article stating that our State Attorney General was taking action against the landscaping company Good Neighbor/Service Smart.
Do any of you want to come to their defense? |

I have heard nothing good about that service in the year and a half I have been. here. I have heard a lot of negative. I think I will pass on coming to their aide.

i read the report & couldn't have been more pleased. this guy was @ our door several times, i didn't like him from the start. he returned several more times saying he was 'the preferred' landscaper here, & that it was a no-brainer NOT to hire him. he expected our business! yeah, right

When we moved here five years ago, I was warned about them. A couple days after we moved in, a nice young lady came by and said she was from Service Smart. I said, "No, we have been warned about you", and she left. That was all. |

Why on earth would anyone want to defend them, they have been ripping off homeowners and suppliers for years and truthfully they all deserve prison time, they are leaches to say the least.

When we moved here last year I had not heard of them when they arrived knocking on my door. I just politely said I wasn't interested. Luckily, I had been warned to NOT do any business with any door knockers. So, Iucked out. They also gave me the, "we are the approved lawn care service in the villages". That was kind of a hint...

It's long overdue. Senior vs Crime, which is funded by the Attorney General, has a huge file of complaints against the company, going back many years. But, I wonder what it means to be "taking action" against the company. These news stories often sound good, but you rarely hear the final result. Also, if the action is against the company only, they can just file for bankruptcy and start another company.

Since you are not coming to their defense why would you expect any one else to, given all the negatives we have heard about them.

I am pretty sure they don't expect it, that was how I interpreted their post.

Wonder why they even posted this. Could be it is a principal of the company trying to get someone to speak up for them.

I think OP was being facetious.

The first thing your real estate agent should have you sign, is the notice not to give any money up front to any contractor. It should be big signs and billboards all on the highways. No money up front no money up front no money up front

Better late than never, I guess. This company should have been prosecuted years ago! We warned all our neighbors about the scam but a few signed up for the “service” & regretted it. Never got their $ back. As it has been said many times, never ever pay in advance for a service!!!
