As the saying goes, “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.” That’s the message the White County Sheriff’s Office is sending to residents about a paving scam.
According to a post on the sheriff’s office’s Facebook page, law enforcement has received reports of someone selling “left-over” asphalt, willing to lay it for a fraction of the price.
“The person/company is then only completing a portion of the work after taking full payment,” the post states.
Others have reported similar scams in Jackson and Habersham counties.
The White County Sheriff’s Office asks anyone who is contacted by this type of operation to notify authorities.
