Beware of unknown people walking into your yard and offering tree services

Hi all.

Soooooo today I had a fellow walk into the yard, give a card that is for “Tim and Sons Tree Service.”

Now, I am not a nervous anything. I’ve done lots of stuff, been around the world 3 times and talked to everyone twice.   AND now you know that I am quite not telling the truth there. However, this tree service did not seem right.

The card said: Tim and Sons Tree Service – No job too big or too small! – Full Insured ( not fully) – Bonded, Free Estimates – Certified Arborist, LEXINGTON, NC 27292 ( I just copied the name of the town in caps, because on the card it was in caps.)  Ph: 336-309-3292 Cell: 336-425–0709.

Now, I checked to see on the site for certified arborist in NC, and no one was listed in Lexington, NC and the phone number was not listed either. If I was giving out a card for business, I would make sure that the phone numbers listed were correct.

So, my reason for posting is this, did any one else in Hudson Hills or Bynum get a visit from these fellows?

And why are they here from Lexington?  No last name on the card and it just didn’t feel right.

So what do you all think? Was this a scam? Where they just checking out Hudson Hills for a place to rob?

I did call the sheriffs dept. and ask these questions.  I saw a sheriffs car going down the road shortly thereafter.

So, any feed back would be of interest.

Thanks.
