Snow shoveling scam reported by a friend
It will be snowing again soon and I wanted to warn you of this latest scam.
You should be on the lookout for this pair in case they appear in your area.
They showed up offering to shovel snow from my driveway for $20.
Not ten minutes into the job they were at my door complaining about being cold..
They said they wanted to come in to my house and get warm for a while.
Well, three hours later, they ended up leaving without finishing the
driveway!
I didn't get anything done around the house because I was afraid
to take my eyes off of them. I'm just glad my wife wasn't at home to see me
taken in by this scam. I'd never hear the end of it.
Don't let it happen to you!
Fortunately, I took their picture before they left. If these two appear on
your doorstep, don't say you weren't warned!
