Asphalt scams rob people of their hard earned money each and every year. Unfortunately, most people don’t find these asphalt scams videos, or the eBook until it’s too late. We do our best to make it easy for people to find these videos on the latest paving scams of 2010, paving scams of 2011 and paving scams of 2012 to try and help as many people avoid getting ripped off by these scammers as possible.

**A very important note. At first we referred to some of the scams as gypsy scams, gypsy paving scams and gypsy pavers. However, there are some people of gypsy descent who feel as though using gypsy and scams together is a racist type of reference. With that in mind, we don’t refer to the paving scammers as gypsies or gypsy scammers. We do however still reference the terms because there are those out there who use the term innocently, not knowing that they are a little sensitive and claim to be offended by it. Also… it’s not just “gypsies” that rip people off. There are plenty of fly by night contractors that aren’t of gypsy descent that rip homeowners off too! These videos are not in any way targeting those of gypsy descent. We want to make sure we help to educate as many homeowners about these asphalt scams as possible, so our use of the term is only to make it easy for those who are seeking help to find these videos and avoiding getting ripped off by any scam, whether it be an asphalt paving scam or any other type of asphalt scam.

    Had one come to my office. I told him I was going to count to five and let my 120 lb German Shepherd dog loose. He didn’t move as fast as I could count. I wonder what kind of insurance Gypsies have?

    I used to work in the paving buisiness for a good contractor & we did all of those things you mentioned in your videos. That is the way we did our work. Thanks for informing everyone on these issues. I am currently in the process of having a driveway installed & I can’t wait to check out some contractors when I go for estemates. They will be shocked at how much I know about paving.Once again, thank you for the videos.
