Scam Artists - L P Garden Grow and Pest Control (CC 2009/153970/23(CC 2009/153970/23)

<p>Beware of   <strong>L P Garden Grow and Pest Control</strong> - they are a bunch of crooks taking part in the compost scam (http://rekordeast.co.za/17228/alleged-compost-conmen-still-operative/)  </p> <p>I was scammed by them over the weekend out of R3000 in the east of Pretoria - I never gave these men permission to spread compost on my lawn.   They asked me for a bucket of water and on my return, I found that they had already opened a number of bags on the lawn and started spreading the compost on the lawn.  I insisted on a quote several times, but they kept telling me they would see how many bags they would use.  They then asked me for water to drink and on my retrun insisted that they spread 39 bags on my lawn and presented me with 39 empty bags- I argued with them that it was impossible that the parts of the lawn they covered used that many bags and that earlier I counted about 20 bags.  They insisted that they were not lying about the 39 bags and argued with me that is was indeed possible that they used 39 bags.  As these men have my home address and in fear of retaliation if I didnt pay, I ended up paying the R3000 to get rid of them.  DO NOT BE FOOLED </p>
