****mers claiming to be a compost company

They are ****mers. Do not talk to them or allow them into your property. JUST WALK AWAY.

I was at the front gate looking for a lock in Moreleta Park. When suddenly a bakkie with “Free State” number plate stopped on my front yard and a guy named Roderick Theyser jumped out the bakkie with a spade full of manure and said he offers good service to make my lawn green. He said he will use only 1 or 2 bags of manure as it was only the front yard lawn outside. One bag costs R149. Saying that there are no labour costs and that I won’t regret. Also saying he has a strong chemical to kill ****s and make my lawn green. Before I could answer he asked for a glass of water to drink and warm water for his spray container. The bakkie looked convincing as the business logo and trademark with all details were on the left door. When I returned with the glass of water and spray container, 2 guys were spreading the manure over my lawn. They were moving so fast. By that time he was writing an invoice of R450. When the guys finished spreading compost, the invoice was R5 000, saying that he even gave me R300 discount. He wrote that he used 27 bags of manure, which is highly impossible as my front lawn is small enough for just 1 or 2 bags. He kept on pressurising me to select option of “pay and clear immediately”. We argued for a long time. I ended up paying R5 000 as I knew that these guys would perhaps use physical force or retaliate later on if I refused to pay. Later on I would realise that there was no “chemical” in those bottles, it was just plain warm water. They were pretending to have put a chemical in the spray container. I would later go to Builders Warehouse at Woodlands, and was told that there is no chemical used to make the lawn green and that one big bag of manure only costs around R230. Later on I would call the ****mer and asked why he did what he did, and for the most part he sounded dismissive and sounded like a completely different person. His tone of voice had changed also. He promised to return the following day to treat the lawn in the yard, but never showed up. Not that I wanted him to return. I would then realise that I was ****med. Later on I googled their company and it reflected that they are ****mers who have been reported to Lynwood Police Station few years back. But they are still operating for the past 13 years now. You want your lawn to be green and nice, just go buy manure and apply it yourself. The guys at Builders Warehouse will advice you very well, even about which chemicals to use for all kinds of ****s.
