On Thursday, April 3, 2025, Vanderhoof RCMP were notified of a scam in the community. A group of individuals claiming to be a paving company have contacted people, offering to pave driveways for a fee and then charging almost three times the amount of the original quoted cost.
When the driveway is “paved” it isn’t actually asphalt but rather appears to be packed gravel that the customer is told will seal after a day or so.
It’s possible that the scammers have moved on from Vanderhoof, but RCMP would like the public to be aware of this recent scam in the community in the event you are approached by individuals looking to pave your driveway.
If you have any information on this, you are asked to call the Vanderhoof RCMP at (250) 567-2222.
