This is WEEDMAN, I called them back to check it out with of course a *67 before the number.
I called the local WEEDMAN and asked if they have a DO NOT CALL LIST and she said yes, I gave her my phone # and she said..OH, I see you have registered on the National(Canada) do not call list, we received this request as of June 2 and it will take a few days for it to kick in. So, I told her I have received 8 calls from the "905" area code # in the past three days, make sure I don't get any more calls. So.....maybe our registery does work??????
Time will tell!
They call form this number, , a answer, it beeps, than hangs up on me.
i call back, answering machine says 'closed for the holidays, call back in the new year after jan 3rd'
Well that was two weeks ago, they obviously have no idea how to run a reputable company, then in the message it says for immediate assistance press pound, which replays the same message over, but provides no assistance. Im on the do not call list, and have called weedman head office twice in last two years ot be taken off the list, next move is to start calling them all the time, and hanging up, sometimes i am bored at work, and this would amuse me
Two months and these idiots are still calling. If I have ignored their calls for this long, don't you think that they would remove my number from their call list and call someone else. I sure am not going to sign up for what I think is weedman lawn care. Heck, I don't live anywhere near the 905 calling area.
i`ll paint you a picture of how they work. they have kids scour neighbor hoods for signature, some true and some forged as i`ve seen. these signatures get sent to the head office for there automated dialer to call non stop from 2pm to 830 pm by people who don`t care about the person on the other line but just getting a sale so they hit the salesrooms quota. these are the people who are pushy and dont take no until the third time or more. they`ll call you 10 or more times. oh and the do not call list issomething they never use even though they say yeah i can put you on the list. what an invasion of privacy. sometimes people makes false sales that aren`t recorded like there dialer calls. i just hope one day some innocent tech doesn`t step onto someone`s proper and get shot for trespassing. this tech probably without proper licencing to apply there products since they`re go through employees more than a pancake house sells pancakes. i know because i`ve seen it & been apart of it.any questions, just ask.

As I was watching the Feb CBC Marketplace "Snake in the Grass" expose of Weed Man's mostly unethical and often illegal prospecting and customer service practices, my wife was obliging two begging teenage girls at the front door by signing a written request for an estimate! Sure enough a few days later came a sales pitch by phone during which my wife told the rep in very strong terms that we were not interested period and not to call again. Sure enough a second call the next day. Hope this complaint rids us of this snake in the grass!
