SHAWANO, WI- Local authorities have issued a warning about a potential blacktop scam targeting residents in the area. Scammers are approaching homeowners, claiming to have “leftover” blacktop and offering to pave driveways at a reduced rate.
These individuals insist on payment in advance, but the product and service provided are often substandard, leaving homeowners dissatisfied and out of pocket.
Residents are urged to be vigilant and cautious if approached with such offers. The scammers were last seen operating in the Wescott area.
Authorities recommend verifying the legitimacy of any paving service and avoiding upfront payments to prevent falling victim to this scam. If you encounter these individuals, report the incident to local law enforcement immediately.
