EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. -
East Providence Police Department is warning the public about a familiar scam.
Police say you should watch out for someone offering to pave your driveway at a discount. The person may say they have extra asphalt, but police say there's no such thing.
According to police, suddenly people and equipment may appear on the victims property, and then the con-artist claims a mistake was made and the victim ends up owing thousands of dollars. Police say the invoice won't include a company name and the person may try to escort the victim to the bank.
NBC 10 called East Providence Wednesday night and were told at least one report of such an incident in that city.
