MAYO TURF COMPANY

Ham Sambo

Hi Guys. Can anybody tell me if they heard of an outfit called 'Mayo Turf'??? I live in Co. Sligo and bought six sealed bags of turf from two guys selling door to door two weeks ago, they convinced me the turf was top notch but instead got six bags of 'wet rubbish turf', was not impressed to say the least. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Did they call you "boss" and have a dearth of documentation?

Did they leave an adddress and landline number for repeat orders?

Sealed bags? Wonder is that to keep it fresh?

Have you checked the Companies Registration Office to see who registered the Mayo Turf Company?

What was I thinking asking for advice from Mayo, I can only assume that this kind of behaviour is the norm.

In fairness, you bough the preverbial "pig in a poke" from two blokes selling door to door. They could called themselves anything, it's irrelevant. They were scammers, and you were scammed. No point getting angry at the forum.

Sealed bags of turf? Never in all my life (and i eint no spring chicken) have i ever seen a sealed bag of turf, have you?. They never came recommended to you, so when they said, "we're fuppin great we are, and this turf is mighty, the finest MAYO turf evvvah" you were only too happy to part with your money without even looking in a bag.

They lied through their teeth clearly, but you also shoulda used a bit of cop on and opened a bag. Reasonably cheap life lesson learned. Forget about chasing these cowboys, they will change their names on every door step i imagine. I know youre sickened, but learn to let it go, and learn from it would me my advice.

Checked CRO database. No such company or any variation thereof registered.

Perhaps the two vendors were on their way to register the company and just dropped off to sell a few bags to raise the registration fees.


Soemhow I cannot see this scam working at any Mayo door.

Sealed bags indeed - unless the excuse was that turf had to be burned fresh

Maybe you should contact MidWest TUR-FM

I buy turf from time to time in my local shop and it is in sealed bags. Good turf though!

I doubt any Mayo man would buy from a company called "Mayo Turf Company" - we all know what Mayo turf is like

Thats the thing, I did look into a bag that they had opened in the back of their van, everything looked fine, when I said that the bags were sealed I ment they were sealed like a bag of coal, the bags even had 'Mayo Turf' printed on them. It seemed like a well organised operation fr two scammers.

O.A.P

You miss your chance there, should have paid them with your piggy bank to see if they opened it first.

Ham Sambo

Ok, so I was scammed :rolleyes: However I would like to catch up with the two gentlemen who sold me the turf, no doubt Mayo will be circling the wagons as we speak!!

Are they not salvagable? Get a couple of pallets and build them into a large reckle, they may dry out over the summer.

The bag you looked into was clearly not one of those that you bought. So you did in fact buy several bags of sealed peat without checking inside.

We all learn lessons about being ripped off. I was recently, after buying a gearbox from the internet it turned out it was busted, although I got it exchanged I had to bear the cost of refitting, (a couple of hundred euros).

Lesson learned for me. Bite the bullet Dude. If you want 6 bags next time - call me, you can have some of mine.... and load it yourself.:)
