Scammers seem to come out of the woodwork during Spring. With better weather, comes more door-to-door sales, resulting in an increase in scams.

One such scam is described in this article, which advises caution of "asphalt scams" --  an old scam in which people are approached by a con artist who says he will do repairs on your driveway. After he gets paid, the  scammer disappears without repairing your drive.

If this type of scam has happened to you, please contact the AGO's Consumer Protection division and file a complaint.
