[dropcap style=”font-size: 70px; color: #052b51; font-family: ‘Droid Serif’, Arial, sans-serif;”] S [/dropcap] mall businesses tend to be the most hit when it comes to con men and scams. There’s always a great deal or amazing prize that just cannot be beat. We tend to to snatch up the opportunities but the old saying “if it seems too good to be true…” rings true. We recently had our stable car park tarred and an interesting discussion with the company doing the work ensued. There are so many scams involving tarring driveways and the like.
Many a time households and businesses are approached by men offering cheap tar driveways. The “tarring company” offers up a cheap driveway at half the price of an approved supplier and then ask for the money upfront as they claim they need to order the tar. Two or three men arrive to clean the surface and one man leaves to “go and buy the tar”.
The guys leave at the end of the day and you never see them again.
Obviously to avoid these sorts of scams – NEVER PAY UPFRONT. It was also suggested not to contact the numbers that you see by the side of the road and rather contact a reputable company for assistance. We can highly recommend:
