Dear Sleeping,
Thank you for your insightful and spot-on description of this person; Ceasar.
We hired his company to maintain our landscaping. Ceasar jr. and I walked the grounds and agreed on a bi-monthly service fee of $145. But he wanted more. $545.00 more. (we had an arborist literally the day before cut back all trees). I explained that "twice last year we were taken by landscapers who hit you with the one-time clear out fee, then come back once or twice and you never see them again". Can anyone feel me?
Ceasar sends his guys out regardless, and I tell this gardener, (who is actually, Ceasar Sr.), "I want to be clear, that you should not expect anything more than the bi-monthly service of $145.00". showed him the check, from the boss. hell, I gave him the check. So we cordially exchange intros and we chitchat, and he comprehended. I go my way he goes back to work...
So the guy and his co-gardener, work for a couple of hours then split.
Which is; not something that, I have not seen before.
About an hour later Ceasar Jr. is at the courtyard gate. Seems Jr. has got a problem with the check. This fool is expecting $400 more. I told the guy, nope. I told him his representative understood, but here's this pompous young punk, wearing an ass hat, telling me he's going to "fine me $3,000-$5,000". And he's "going to sue me"!
I told the fool, "I am a lawyer, so kick rocks". he crumples the check and throws it to the ground. I'm serious, you can't make this stuff up.
I find out that evening, that Ceasar, commenced blowing up my partner's phone, cell,l, and work line, telling her the same bullshit he tried on me. The only difference is she Zelles him the money! I asked her, "what were you even thinking?" She said he "wouldn't stop calling her phones, and it was interfering with her work"
Now, Mr. Cabrera will gain a thorough understanding of how real fines occur. Had he found satisfaction in just annoying, he would have faced a class 5 misdemeanor, but, because she actually coughed up the money? Now it is a class 4 felony, called extorsion, and since we're both seniors, better-figure exploitation of the elderly under threat of harm. (Ceasar, you're going to need to retain an attorney and a bondsman). Free legal advice.
So his gardeners didn't do a $145 bi-monthly service because they didn't hedge trim anything in the backyard. Ceasar Jr. is happy because they didn't do anything that would be considered a 1-time clear-out. these guys got a racket.
Oh, Ceasar jr. told my partner that they would be back on the 31st to do their $545 service. How do you suppose that will work out for him?
Avoid doing business with this felon. read more
