If you have snow on your driveway or walkway this may happen in your neighborhood and you should be on the lookout in case the same scam goes around your area. If you don't have a driveway to be cleared, this doesn't really apply to you, but there is no telling what else they might offer to suck you in.
These two showed up to offer to shovel snow from my driveway, but because I had been warned by neighbors, I did not fall victim and they were promptly sent on their way. They claimed they obtained a permit but did not pockets to carry it in; ha! a likely story.
As if these two would do an efficient job? They whined about it being cold and probably would have left before the job was done properly, along with my hard-earned $20.00 for the job! Fortunately, recognition of this element in our society, which can prey on the unsuspecting, is a responsibility of all good citizens, and I quickly photographed the pair with my digital camera.
I am passing their photo around so they don't suck in other unsuspecting victims.
The Scam Artists.... :thefinger
