On August 4, 2009, a township resident in the Center Square neighborhood was approached by two men driving an unmarked vehicle. The men offered to seal the man’s driveway for an agreed price. However, after doing the job they informed him that he now owed them a substantially larger fee. Furthermore, they now informed the resident that they do not accept checks. The resident was persuaded into paying them the new higher price in cash. In addition to the inflated price, the work was found to be sub-standard.
