Weedman Harassment

The weedman in Hamilton calls me everyday has for over a month sometimes twice many times when i answer they hang up. I have called back 3 times and asked for a supervisor they say none are in. Today someone who claimed his name was Steve (idoubt it) said if i signed up the calls would stop. They have no other contact or corporate phones or email i can contact. They are truely harassing me wish i could do something about it other than this and the B.B.B. I will however post all the bad reviews i can hopefully their business will suffer enough for them to fire jerks who do this.

Do you have call display if you do don't pick up the phone.Hopefully they will get the message not to call.

Is it a recording? Or are they calling in person? If it was a human, I would use a loud whistle at my end, and repeat as much as necessary.

I'm sure if you get the actual number, the phone company can block it.

they cannot keep calling you if you ask them not to.

they are likely going through the phonebook and just calling ppl randomly, and they are not allowed to do that.

might be worth reporting to the do not call registry. i believe you can make a complaint even if you are not registered. they are supposed to stop calling once you ask them to stop.

give it a try, it takes 2 minutes.

Tell them to put you on their internal do not call list.
If they continue to call you afterwards you can report them to the CRTC for violations.

This is the first time trying to post a link!, if it doesn't work, it's on the first page of the store reviews

Report them. That's harassment.

I would just ignore the calls, they will get the hint. I love our answering machine. lol.

Wow, the weedman out here in Montreal is not great either. We got a quote and said no thank you since it seemed kind of expensive. Then we got a call on the weekend that some guy was on his way and when we explained that we did not agree to the contract we thought it was end of story. Well, we just got another message that someone is supposed to come tomorrow. So, suffice it to say I'm not very happy either. I'm wondering if it's some sort of franchise thing, I would be so ashamed to work for or be associated with this company.

The same thing is happening with me. I keep getting the calls, I first picked up the phone and had a live person run a speal about their service, at that time I said that I wasn't interested, He then proceeded to talk over me and continue telling about the service as I told him before that I wa not going to take the service and that I already done it myself, He just kept on talking and talking....I finally hung the phone up on him...The next day they called again and have called for the last 10 days, I picked up and no one was there. I am very angry with this company. I call this type of treatment abuse...What can be done to deal with this Weedman. In Hamilton

Don't you have to pay to have a number blocked though? And usually companies have several phone numbers.

I think this is harrassment. Call the police and make a report. If there are others in your area that have the same problem and have reported they are more likely to do something about it. Atleast have it on record what they are doing to you.

OMG I can't believe I found this thread. I had the weedman service last year. I thought it as bad for the money I paid. I aksi had a difficult time when they came because they would never schedule a time and wanted me to leave my fence unlocked. i tried to explain I had a pool and could not leave the fence unlocked.

Anyway, they started calling again this year. I started by talking to them and politely turning them down. It got to the point were I was begging them to stop calling me. This last week I was getting 1 to 2 calls a night and when I answered no one would be there. On Thursday I answered and they finally had a person at the end. I told them they were calling every night and when I answered no one was on the line. Here is what she said "oh ya. We have been having a problem with our automatic calling system. It is putting out more calls than be have agents to take. we are trying to fix it sorry". She then went on to try and sell me the product again. I tild her 'I have spoken with about 5 people from your company, I am not interested. I have asked you to stop calling, I have asked you to remove my name from any list. I have asked you to add me to your no call list. what part of NO are you having trouble with? Your like some cult!" Well that got her really mad and she said "fine and hung up". Lets hope the calls stop.

if you request that they not call you again they are not supposed to call you back. Ive told them we're not interested which didnt work so I bluntly told them to "please not call again" after receiving calls on a daily basis from them for the past month....we'll see if they still call.

We have used Weedman out of Surrey BC for the past 8 years. The guys and girls that come to do the work are great, very courtious. Starting last year, they began to call to offer upgrades to their services. No problem, once or twice but now they have been calling 4 to 5 times..every night for the past 6 months!!! (Thanks for Call display) I am looking now for a local guy to do the work..preferrably someone who does not own a phone!!
