Frustrated!!!

We hired this guy to cut my 82 year old mother's lawn for the summer. He was paid in full up front and was oh so nice in the beginning when he was getting his money. He doesn't show up when he's supposed to and ignores calls. Family members have had to cut the grass....my mother has even tried cutting it herself. He takes your money with empty promises!! Don't hire him!!!! He'll gladly take your money and then not do the work.
