Missouri Department of Transportation officials are warning consumers to be wary of paving scams.
With warmer weather, officials said Wednesday, scammers are more likely to take advantage of consumers looking to pave driveways, walkways, etc.
Specifically, MoDOT said, be wary of paving companies that approach homes claiming to have extra asphalt left over from a previous job. The work can be sloppy and the price much higher than originally quoted, according to a news release issued Wednesday.
Transportation officials said consumers should check with the Better Business Bureau to file complaints or verify the status of a contractor.
