Fuck You, TruGreen

Really, your dececptive billing and sales practices are well known. Shame on me for not realizing this earlier. Last year, when your slimey sales guy sold me an aeration and overseed it was on the premise it was a one-off work. Lo and behold, I come back from Philly and I have a $455 bill from the asswipes at TruGreen Syracuse for a service I never agreed to. Well, apparently I did agree to it when I didn't forcibly cancel my service. What the fuck? They stated I authorized this work, and yes I did, one time, in August 2007. Wait, this is normal? I believe I will be investigating whether or not I can submit this to the NYS Attorney General's office.

I'm probably stuck and out some cash, but I wanted to warn anyone to think long and hard before they engage TruGreen:

1.) Anything they sell you they will continue to do in perpetuity
2.) Everything rolls over. You must explicitely request termination of service, and even then that doesn't guarantee they'll stop coming.
3.) Don't be surprised when they stick it in your ass somehow.

The list is long:
TruGreen Government legal actions
Consumer Complaints

Oh, fuck it - just Google TruGreen Complaints for the full list. Caveat Emptor!
