Undated_One Grady County resident says he's one of many who has been scammed by what are being called the 'gypsy pavers'.  They come to your home with what they claim is leftover asphalt and make you a deal you can't refuse.  They even pave more than what you agreed to, but that's when the deal goes sour.

The victims say the pavers come in and give you an estimate for the job, and convince you it'll be a great deal.  But, when it's finished, they do more work than you agreed to, and then bully you into paying a much higher price--usually thousands of dollars more.

Keith May said it happened to him, when he came across a deal he thought he couldn't pass up. "He paved a lot more than I told him to.  He didn't stop when i told him to. They were in a hurry just to get the job done.  Once he came and did the job, my bill was $4,390." 

That total was triple what he was originally promised, but even when confronted with the outrageous total, May still wrote the check out for the full amount, before stopping payment the next day.  "I spent yesterday in Oklahoma City at the Attorney General's office," May said.  "What I'm wanting to do is get these guys shut down for good.

May says they told them this happens every year and these people are hard to track. "They don't have logos. There's no signs on their vehicles.  They're traveling gypsies, is what they call them."

It even happened to one of May's neighbors the same week. "They went to the bank the next morning to borrow the money to pay these guys because they told them they would put them in jail if they didn't."

Even though scammers like these are hard to track, victims can help put them out of business or behind bars.  But, in order to do that, multiple victims have to come forward and report these incidents to their local law enforcement and file a police report.
