Summary
A woman in Sanford, Florida, discovered that someone had removed her entire driveway without her permission. She had hired someone to repair a crack in her driveway, but weeks later, a crew showed up and tore out the entire driveway, installing a new one. The job was contracted under someone else’s name and paid for with a $15,000 check that bounced. Investigators believe the scam originated in Nigeria and targeted the homeowner’s house, which was for sale at the time.
