US EditionOntario Police Warn of Increase in Driveway Paving and Roofing Scams
- The Ontario Provincial Police issued a warning about increased driveway paving and roofing scams targeting homeowners across the province.
- These scams feature individuals posing as contractors who visit homes uninvited, often adopting false identities, demanding immediate cash payments, and promoting limited-time offers.
- Victims report poor-quality work left behind, contractors disappearing without contact, and police stating such cases become civil matters requiring court action.
- One homeowner, Luigi Raffaele, paid $3,900 upfront to a contractor in East York who never returned, illustrating the scams' impact.
- The OPP urges residents to research contractors carefully, avoid paying in advance, get multiple quotes, and report suspicious activity to protect their homes.
