The Tree work crooks.

Jay says I thought I was careful but I have just been robbed.

A man at the front door said my neighbour, who was out, wanted some of my back garden tree branches that were over lapping his garden trimmed back. He came in the back garden to show what he was going to do; I had no intention of paying for anything. He pointed out some problems with my trees that he could fix for £150 including removal. It sounded creditable and I was foolish and agreed.

Then there was a problem; a large branch had broken off. There would be a charge of £2.75 per kg to take it away, he wouldn’t give me a weight estimate, he said that it would be known when it was chipped. I was shocked when he told me it weighed 980kg and the cost was £2500.

I said it couldn’t be that heavy but he insisted it was. I was given a lot of hassle and told I had agreed to it and ended up paying online.

Later in the day I was phoned and told there was too much for one load and there was another £2000 to pay; he was extremely aggressive when I refused to pay. Later I found that nothing had been taken away; it had been hidden behind another tree.

Also, my neighbour hadn’t asked for anything to be done.

Every thing he said was lies. I have reported this information to the police.

Be careful.

If you have any experiences with these scams do let me know, by email.
