(LAMBTON, ON) The Lambton County detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is alerting community members to recent reports of door-to-door paving scams occurring in various parts of the county.

Residents have reported individuals approaching homes offering “discounted” driveway paving. These individuals often use high-pressure tactics to secure quick decisions and may demand cash payments upfront. In many cases, the resulting work is poor quality, significantly overpriced, or abandoned before completion.

The OPP encourages all residents to remain vigilant and take steps to protect themselves from fraud:

• Be cautious of unsolicited offers at your door
• Do not feel pressured to make immediate decisions
• Request written estimates and verify references
• Never pay in full until the work has been completed to your satisfaction
• If something feels suspicious, trust your instincts
