Description
A man in Torrey Highlands is out $2500 after falling victim to a landscaping scam.
It’s a scam CBS 8 has covered before, where supposed landscapers show up at homes unannounced offering to put mulch in yards for $10 a bag.
When they’re done, they demand thousands of dollars.
"They wanted around $10 per bag of mulch. And usually, you know, looking at my front yard, I figured they’d probably only use about 50 bags of mulch, and so I agreed to the work," said Alex Sun.
Sun asked for an estimate beforehand but was told that wasn't possible. Two hours later, he received a bill for $5,000, the equivalent of 500 bags of mulch.
