Here's an odd one.

Random dude probably 20yo rocks up this morning, starts whipper-snippering the front lawn. I go out ask him wtf are you doing, he says sorry I got the wrong address jumps in his car and drives off...

I'm still scratching my head.

Same thing happened to us once. The dude did both nature strips. Beautiful job he did AND it happened to be my husband's birthday. He came back the following week to do across the road.

Husband thought I'd organised it as a surprise. Nope.

Shouldn't have told him! "Oh yeah I forgot I booked him. Happy bday hubby!"

Could be the scam where they do work then over bill you for it unauthorised?
