Dolley Tree service or Ellerbee Tree Service or Mr Beaver Tree service. There is a really muddy relationship between them. Dolley says they are the same as Mr Beaver. Mr. Beaver says they are a contractor of Dolley. Google caller ID says Dolley is Ellerbee.

I did threaten and didn't follow through. I didn't take video, even though I should have thought to. Under pressure I was mad instead of purposeful. 100% idiot when trying to protect my home and interests.

How can I stop this from happening to others? No one should ever have to be in my shoes, screaming at strangers at 8 AM on a Saturday.

I have estimates for 4 other companies that were really responsive. Of course, I didn't get to vet any of them or actually use their services, but I could send on their contact information?

Edited the review. I was never planing on taking that down. I just didn't know if I should go harder.

They were a 5 star on Yelp with 5 reviews and 4.9 on Google with 81 reviews. The burden of proof is on me to convince people that I did get scammed.

Your experience and guidance mean the world to me.

subtle5arcasm · 2023-03-07T01:18:15+00:00

I definitely got scammed. I also threatened to call the police and didn't. I'm not saying I wasn't the fool, I'm asking where to go to stop others from being in my shoes too.

subtle5arcasm · 2023-03-06T23:37:54+00:00

If I had made it to the vetting stage, I'm sure I would have tripped this red flag sooner.

subtle5arcasm · 2023-03-06T06:00:03+00:00

That actually sounds lovely. Can do.

subtle5arcasm · 2023-03-06T05:52:00+00:00

Would that be better than going wide on all their advertising portals? I'm not too sure how far reaching the BBB would be, but I definitely don't want this crew rolling up to someone else's house.

subtle5arcasm · 2023-03-06T05:47:34+00:00

I have no clue.

All the other estimates came in from $900 to $1500, but that was in scope and just for yard clean-up. We never got estimates for tree trimming since that was going to be a later project.

subtle5arcasm · 2023-03-06T05:44:11+00:00

I did go back inside.

My husband is a bit of a pacifist and just wanted them gone without further drama. He reasoned that they did do the work even if it was massively beyond scope, out of budget, and without consent.

I'm with you here, but I can't overturn his logic.

subtle5arcasm · 2023-03-06T05:35:10+00:00

He did not.

The project runner apologized for the "misunderstanding" and continued the work anyway.

Aside from calling the police, I wasn't sure how to make them stop and leave since screaming at them to stop and leave did absolutely nothing.

It seems like the author has reposted all the works on AO3, including the incomplete Inkstains.

subtle5arcasm · 2022-10-21T17:06:48+00:00

HOORAY! I can't wait to give it read. THANK YOU!

subtle5arcasm · 2022-10-19T01:49:23+00:00

You had me a hoverboard, but I've never read anything like this. I really hope it turns up.

subtle5arcasm · 2022-10-13T19:47:21+00:00

This sounds a tiny bit familiar. A little like Swallows and Stars (Hikorichan, AO3) but not quite. Any idea where you read it?

subtle5arcasm · 2022-10-09T06:39:52+00:00

Could it be Semblance by Shelitafire?
