Tree Cutting Scam? Whats the point?

A tree cutting service texted my realtor saying that someone was trying to contact them about cutting a tree down. Possible scam, unsure of why or how this scam works if someone could help explain. Seems like they are texting multiple tree services as someone from a different company just now came to my front door asking if a Charles Kraft was here lol. They even sent pictures from the for sale listing. My house just went under contract so I could see how someone could find the house easily and weasel their way in. I guess i just dont understand the scam itself.
