Advisory

Beware of paving scams. 2 men offered to pave Old Harv Rd residents driveway, did inferior work charged $7100.

An Old Harvard Rd resident was approached by two men who told her that they had leftover asphalt from a previous job and could pave her driveway for a low price. She accepted and they performed work that was substandard and incomplete. They gave an original price of $7100.00, then asked her to go to the bank and withdraw $5000.00. Bank employee became suspicious and no money was exchanged. Subjects did not have a solicitor permit which is required by town by-law. This is a very common scam. if you are approached DO NOT agree to having any work done and call us at 978-263-2628.
