WilshireHomeowner narrowly saves trees from removal scam
exscapeWhat a bizarrely specific scam. Shouldn't take too long until everyone in that line of work in a particular area catches up on it.
derangerOverpayment and asking for cash back is one of the most common scams, it’s hardly specific. You can replace tree felling with just about anything. They’re just the latest victims.
PrefersAwkwardYeah, and not to diminish or demean any victims, but waiting for any check to clear before reimbursement is a solution, or requesting a new check and ripping / voiding the old one on receiving the new check in the correct amount.
And if someone gets mad at you for that, they’re either scamming you or they’re not being accountable for their mistake.
