Scam Description
An individual introduced himself saying he was doing some work for a neighbour and offered to repair and seal our driveway, and we agreed. They were also doing our front steps and said there was an issue with it, so they would have to do additional work (pouring concrete to make level and replacing stone tiles). We paid them $3,000 for which they provided us a 10 year guarantee claiming we could call them at any time. We noticed that the front steps were not level and the driveway sealing was poorly done. They answered one time and said they would come the next day but they never did. Repeated phone calls were not answered, and their email address was undeliverable.
