Houston residents: If you pay a company to mow your lawn, watch them

This has happened to my next-door neighbor two years in a row. I'm
curious if this scam is done in other areas of the Gulf Coast.
I've restrained myself through all this, but I find myself with a free
moment (slow server day) and I have to ask what this guy did to
deserve such wrath. He saw what he thought was a scam and reported it
to help others avoid being taken. Sure, most of us mow our own grass.
So ignore it. What's the problem? Yes, he got a bit testy after his
eyebrows were burned off, but who wouldn't be a bit defensive in his
place?

Lou, I wasn't about to get taken by insidious overseeding, but thanks
for trying to help anyway.
