Homeowner narrowly saves trees from removal scam - Lemmy.World

โ€ฆ and as the article fails to mentionโ€ฆ what about the bloody TREES!? Imagine scammers cutting down a century-old, beautiful tree just to make a few hundred dollars. What a scummy, short-term, selfish thing to do. GRRRR.

Stories like this make me consider that humans deserve to go extinct. Maybe raccoons and corvids will do a better job of caring for this planet.

Especially since you could pull this scam with a whole lot of other businesses that wold not result in cutting down trees.
Oh they do. This is one of the most common types of scams out there. It sucked that I technically had to participate in many attempts at these because I worked as a relay operator prior to there being rules allowing us to disconnect obvious scammers.
