OPP are warning residents about recent door-to-door paving scams reported throughout the area.
Several homeowners have been approached by individuals offering what they claim are discounted driveway paving services.
These individuals often rely on high-pressure sales tactics, pushing residents to make quick decisions and sometimes demanding cash payments upfront.
In many cases, the work performed is substandard, far more expensive than promised, or left unfinished.
The OPP urges residents to stay alert when dealing with unsolicited offers.
Homeowners are encouraged to take their time, request written estimates, check references, and avoid paying in full before any work is completed to their satisfaction.
If something feels suspicious, it is important to trust your instincts.
Anyone who encounters suspicious activity or believes they may have been targeted is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. For emergencies, call 911.
