Better Business Bureau
(BBB) is noticing an increase
in calls related to door-to-door
pine straw scams, particularly
targeting elderly homeowners.
Consumers complain about
aggressive tactics used by
disreputable landscapers show
ing up at their door, claiming
to have left over pine straw or
mulch from a previous job.
The “landscaper” is willing
to offer it to the unsuspecting
homeowner at a heavily dis
counted rate.
Once the homeowner agrees
to a price or number of bales,
the scammer will either lay
down fewer bales than agreed
and then need more money to
sufficiently cover the area; or
completely cover the area and
insist that the consumer pay
the extra costs. If the consumer
refuses, the scammer will then
resort to intimidation tactics
to frighten the homeowner
into paying more. One elderly
consumer agreed to pay $400
for their yard, but when the
workers were finished, they de
manded $1,200, or else. In the
end, the consumer was bullied
into paying the exorbitant fee.
Many door-to-door sales
people are legitimate, but oth
ers might only be looking to
make a sale and then, move on.
BBB recommends consumers
be suspicious of too good to be
true offers and to have a plan
in place when hearing that tell
tale knock:
Ask about licensing. Many
cities require door-to-door
salespeople to have a peddler
or solicitor license. Ask if the
salesperson has checked in
with the city and gotten proper
licensing. Not sure? Call the
city or county offices to verify.
Check identification. A repu
table seller will provide all the
information asked of them,
including a photo ID and a
business card. If possible, use
your phone to take a photo of
their vehicle and tag.
Verify the individual and the
company. A reputable salesper
son should not have a prob
lem with having their identity
checked with a quick phone
call to the company. Research
the company and contact them
to check if the salesperson is
in fact an employee. Read the
company’s Business Profile
and customer reviews at BBB.
org.
Get promises in writing. If
you are interested in a prod
uct or service, get everything
in writing including price,
contract details and all other
terms and conditions. Tell the
salesperson the proposal will
be reviewed, and a decision
will be made. Verify the physi
cal address and valid contact
information for the company
are included.
Don’t give in to
pressure. Watch out SEE
for high-pressure SCAM,
sales tactics and be g
