Watch out for this scam !!!!!
For the ones who might get snow in their driveway, this may happen in your neighborhood and you should be on the lookout in case the same scam goes around your area.
These two showed up to offer to shovel snow from my driveway, but because this location requires a vendor's permit for door-to-door solicitations, I did not fall victim, and they were promptly sent on their way.
They claimed they obtained a permit but did not have any pockets to carry it in; hah! A likely story. As if these two would do an efficient job? They whined about it being cold and probably would have left before the job was done properly, along with my hard-earned $20.00 for the job!
Fortunately, recognition of this element in our society, which can prey on the unsuspecting, is a responsibility of all good citizens, and I quickly photographed the pair and I am passing their photo around so they don't suck in other unsuspecting victims. Attached is their photo for easy recognition.
