Ontario Police Warn of Increase in Driveway Paving and Roofing Scams
- The Ontario Provincial Police issued a warning on Tuesday about increasing driveway paving and roofing scams happening across the province.
- These scams usually occur between April and October and involve contractors pressuring homeowners to pay cash upfront for poor-quality work before disappearing.
- Victims report that scammers often use fake names, false IDs, unmarked vehicles, and professional materials like flyers and websites to appear credible.
- Joe Brisebois of the OPP stated, "They will ask for cash upfront," leave bad work, and "you will never hear from them again," urging caution.
- The OPP advises residents to avoid unsolicited door-to-door offers, research companies carefully, get multiple quotes, avoid advance payments, and report suspicious activity at 1-888-310-1122.
