⚠️ SCAM WARNING FOR LAWN CARE & HANDYMAN BUSINESSES ⚠️
Just a heads up to other lawn care professionals and small businesses in the area:
If someone says they’re mailing you a check, then asks you to send part of the money to a “handyman,” “installer,” or third party through Cash App, Zelle, etc… IT IS VERY LIKELY A SCAM.
The check may appear to clear at first, but banks can reverse fake checks days or even weeks later — leaving YOU responsible for the money you sent out.
Red flags:
🚩 Overpaying by check
🚩 Wanting you to pay someone else
🚩 Refusing normal payment methods
🚩 Odd wording/messages
🚩 “The check will clear first”
Protect your business and your bank account. Legit customers pay for YOUR services directly.
Stay safe out there this season. 🌱
