Paving Scam Working In Hurricane Area
11/4/2011The Hurricane Police Department has heard from two people in the area that they have been approached by drive by paving company. They have found several trucks in with Oregon plates. The trucks is registered out of Moab and New Mexico. No paving company has applied for a City business license.
Here is how the scams usually works: The scammer shows up at a random home and tells the resident they have "some extra blacktop" available "from another job" and will apply it to the driveway if the resident will pay for the work up front. Then, the scammer will either not do the work and takes off with the money, or they use a cheap grade of paving material followed by a demand for the resident pay an additional amount for the work.
Other clues to look for are:
- They become intimidating
- They typically target the elderly and know when older folks are home alone
- They pressure people to agree to a job without an agreed-upon price or contract
If you have any information about these individuals please contact Sgt. Stacey Gubler at (435)635-9663
