Police in Vanderhoof were notified of a scam in the community.
According to the RCMP, a group of individuals claiming to be a paving company contacted people, offering to pave driveways for a fee and then charging almost three times the amount of the original quoted cost.
The incident was filed with the police on April 3rd.
When the driveway is paved, it isn’t asphalt but rather appears to be packed gravel that the customer is told will seal after a day or so.
It’s possible that the scammers have moved on from Vanderhoof, but RCMP would like the public to be aware of this recent scam in the community.
