In the City of Rome New York, a potential scam is taking place of two men going door to door offering to provide work on your driveway, then taking the money without providing the work.

Sharon Ackerman posted the alleged scam to the "People Places and Opinions of Rome NY" Facebook group:

Warning: If anyone happens to see this truck and the 2 men inside steer clear! They are scammers! One of my neighbors unfortunately was taken for quite a few thousands of dollars.

According to the post, these men are going door to door ripping people off claiming to do work on your driveway. Also according to the post, the Rome Police Department have been notified and are looking into it. We will keep you updated if anything changes. You can see more photos posted to the groups page.
