Paving Scam - Update

Earlier last week the Box Elder Sheriff' Office put out a warning on social media that a paving company was moving through the county and charging many times over what the job is worth. This was meant to educate the public and get them to ask important questions like; "I would like to see your business license" and "Can I get a written quote?". Or even getting multiple bids before doing a major project. The Sheriff's Office was not aware of a business license for this company in the county and wanted to investigate that further. Not having a business license is the only crime that we are aware of in Box Elder County at this time.
Many people have called in who have overpaid and want to see them charged for that. Overpaying for a service is not necessarily a crime. Both parties agreed to the transaction which usually makes it a business transaction, not a crime. If some work was done and then they never return, it is business transaction and a civil problem, not a crime.
Box Elder Sheriff's Office did contact the Utah Division of Consumer Protection who can take administrative action against a company through the Attorney General's Office. They have asked for all of our cases to review. You can go to their website to file a complaint or file a report with us, we will send to for you.
This situation can be complicated and based on the good questions we were getting asked, we felt this additional clarification was necessary. Do call your local law enforcement to make a report if you think you were a victim of overpaying for this service. Understand that overpaying is not likely to be criminally prosecuted, however, we will get your report to the Utah Division of Consumer Protection who can take administrative action. Our hope was to prevent more cases by educating the public so please look out for your friends an neighbors.
