Mate if mine needed the services of a tradie, found what he wanted in the local paper and spoke with him.
Yes, he replied I can do that job very soon.
Three months later and he has still not arrived.
My mate is putting a notice in the 'missing persons' section of the paper.

Same silly bugger saw one of those notices,
Post no Bills
Offenders will be prosecuted.

He sent copies to all his utility suppliers. Did not work, still getting bills in the post.
