GROVETOWN, Ga. (WRDW) -- George Posey said he never saw it coming.

"I was out in the yard messing around, right? This truck pulls up," Posey said.

The man behind the wheel had an offer the 77-year-old Army veteran said sounded great at the time.

"He had some excess asphalt," Posey said.

He said a Harry Smith with a company called Asphalt Maintenance promised he could give Posey's driveway a quick facelift.

"I was thinking it was going to run in the $4,000 or $5,000 range," Posey said.

But at completion, Posey said the total bill rang up much higher.

"Ninety-one hundred dollars for the 2,600 square feet," Posey said.

In keeping with his end of the bargain, Posey cut a check to Smith for $9,100, but now seven weeks later.
