Deceitful Blacktop Contractors Targeting Central KY Contractors quote low price then demand thousands more after work is completed By Terry Sebastian/Crystal Staley Frankfort, KY - Today, Attorney General Andy Beshear and Woodford County Sheriff Wayne "Tiny" Wright said a group of door-to-door blacktop contractors are targeting elderly residents in Woodford County, and possibly families in the Central Kentucky region. "Community awareness is key to stopping these predatory scammers," said Sheriff Wright. "Whether they offer to seal your driveway, paint your fence or any other odd job, contact your local sheriff's office immediately if you suspect suspicious activity." Beshear said not all door-to-door salespersons are scammers and many are honest trying to make a living. Nevertheless, before you commit to a door-to-door sales pitch take time to follow these tips:
"Thanks to the quick work of Sheriff Wright's office payment was stopped on the check and the citizen avoided losing her money," said Beshear. "We appreciate the Woodford County Sheriff's Office for reporting this scam and we want to make sure more Kentuckians know the signs to watch out for when it comes to avoiding door-to-door scammers." One of Beshear's top priorities is to protect Kentuckians, especially senior citizens from scams, abuse and exploitation. Beshear said the best way to stay ahead of con artists is to be aware of new and trending scams by signing up to receive Scam Alerts from the Office of the Attorney General. Scam Alerts provide Kentuckians a direct alert, including tips on how to avoid scams reported in Kentucky. To enroll, text the words KYOAG Scam to GOV311 (468311), or enroll online atag.ky.gov/scams and select text message or email alert. To report a scam contact the Attorney General's Office at 888-432-9257 and file a complaint online. This story was posted on 2017-06-22 07:25:34
