A group of men claiming to be legitimate chip-sealers are working to defraud Lee County Customers, according to the Lee County Sheriff.
Sheriff Jim Sholl said in a Friday news release that the group was last seen in the Franklin area, driving a flatbed truck of an unknown make and model and a newer red dump truck.
The group allegedly offers customers a reduced rate to seal coat their driveways using “extra product” from another job. The product offered is apparently sub par and only a thin coating is applied.
During the last reported encounter, the potential victim told the alleged scammers he wasn’t interested, and the group took off in a hurry.
