Hope it works for you. Someone put an ad in the paper here a few years ago kinda like yours I hope it worked for them. I saw a 1 ton flatbed with side with signs that stated they were an actual legit company. I don't have any luck with craigslist here.

Everytime I see a new one pop up on CL here I check the states website to see if they are registered. Only takes me a minute so not wasting much time. WOW maybe 2 or 3 out of 20 registered legal businesses. I posted about 2 of them last night for a laugh. Both names of their so called businesses are registered to people in completely different parts of the state. Told them if they were legit that they would know they were using someone elses name and they were opening up a big can of LAWSUIT. One responded today and had the nerve to ask me for my biz name and wanted to talk to me about the lawncare business and how I run mine. Laughed my arse off.

"WE FIX 20$ CUTS" WE ALSO PAY OUR TAXES, COLLECT SALES TAX, REPORT OUR INCOME, HAVE LIABILITY INSURANCE... JUST REMEMBER WHEN IT COMES TO CURB APPEAL YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!! ALSO REMEMBER SOME OF THE THINGS YOUR PARENTS USE (past tense, missing the "D") TO SAY..."IF IT SOUNDS TO (the word you wanted was TOO with two "O"s) GOOD TO BE TRUE ITS (missing the ' "it is = IT'S) PROBABLY NOT" (also, I've always heard this as "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is", but I guess it could be different where you are from) "THEIRS (THERE'S) NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH" {HENCE THE FIRST CUT FREE DEALS}

"REMEMBER THE (move your opening quote mark to here)I HAVE A BRIDGE TO SELL YOU (move your closing quote mark to here) SAYING".......... 20% OFF IS MORE THEN (word you wanted was THAN) LIKELY A 100% LIE!!
ANYWAY I HOPE YOU CUSTOMERS THAT ARE TRULY LOOKING FOR A GOOD COMPANY TO DO YOUR LAWN SERVICE REALLY DO YOUR HOMEWORK BECAUSE IT IS SO TRUE "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR" ESPECIALLY IN THIS BUSINESS. YOU WILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU READ THE ADDS (the word you wanted was "ADS") SO CHOOSE WISELY!



These were just things noticed on a first read.
