After reading a post about a woman's unsettling encounter, I felt compelled to share my own experience to help prevent further incidents. I'm grateful she exposed this individual because, like her, I was taken aback by what occurred. My interaction with Matt, the owner, began when I contacted him for an estimate on tree services. However, from the outset, he made inappropriate remarks about harassing neighbors for additional information and repeatedly insisted on speaking to a male. He then appeared at my property unannounced, without consent, and proceeded to call me incessantly, even contacting numbers not associated with me under the pretense of urgency. My neighbors reported his odd behavior, including wandering around their properties and leaving littered cards. Despite promising insurance and an estimate within a week, he never followed through. When I reached out again, he adamantly refused to deal with me, insisting on speaking to a male. The entire interaction left me feeling deeply unsettled; it seemed as though he had no intention of carrying out the work or providing an estimate. His focus on my daily routine and the presence of males at my home felt intrusive and alarming, akin to casing a property rather than conducting legitimate business. Initially, I attributed his behavior to typical sexism often encountered in small southern towns. However, upon discovering similar documented experiences from others, I realized the severity of the situation. I commend the woman who shared her story for shedding light on this issue and potentially preventing future incidents. It's particularly troubling to note the owner's apparent obsession with her in subsequent updates. I am glad she is a lawyer who was able to point out the legal implications associated with this type of behavior. read more
