Just a buyer beware thread...
Was approached in my driveway at about 2:00 this afternoon by a representative of this outfit. Seemed like a nice enough guy. He explained that he was paving a driveway down the road from me and that he had extra millings he would like to use up on another job, if was interested in having my drive paved.
He told me that they would scrape the drive, put down the millings and then roll them out and do something else, that I have since forgotten about. I asked him what kind of money we were looking at. $850.00. I chuckled and my
flag went up even more.
I told him that he had just missed the septic and plumbing company that had just left after putting in an all new drain field since mine was ruined in the last storm when the tree went down and I have no money. He asked if I would take his card so I can call them in the future when I decide to have it done. Okay.
After closer inspection of the business card, there is no address, lisence or bonding numbers. Hmmm... so I try google searches. The phone number prefix is a toll free number and didn't trace back to anyone or business. No businesses popped up with that name either. Checked BBB, but without a location, nothing popped up. Checked the MD Case Search and there is a local contract case against the name that is on the card for $650.00 filed last month.
Hmmm... fly by night scammers?
This is my personal opinion...
