Driveway Seal Coat Scammer Active In Area, Wayland Police Report

WAYLAND, MA — If someone random guy drives up to your house and offers to seal coat your driveway, don't jump at the opportunity.

Not like most homeowners would be interested in such an odd offer.

But Wayland police Wednesday warned that there is a man going house-to-house in the area offering driveway seal coating services — at about triple what it would cost going through the proper channels.

The scammer was a tough salesman, warning the homeowner that they really needed to seal their driveway.

"Over the weekend, a resident was told their driveway was in dire need to be seal coated. The party, described below, did subpar work and never returned to finish the job, but insisted they be paid prior to leaving," Wayland police said.

The scammer is a man between 40 and 50 and drives a white pickup truck, police said. He's also, you know, randomly offering driveway seal coating.

If you encounter the seal coating scam, contact Wayland police at (508) 358-4721.
