Scam alert tileMen posing as employees of the Tennessee Department of Transportation have been approaching homeowners about driveway repairs, according to a news release from TDOT.
The men claim Chattanoogans must make certain repairs to their driveways within 30 days, and if they fail to do so, TDOT would repair it for a fee of $80 per square foot.
The release said these men are not TDOT employees.
The three or four men were reportedly in a "white, crew-cab work truck with no emblems on the side," the release said. One man wore a lime-green safety vest.
"Our employees are in marked vehicles and carry identification, plus this is not the way we do business," the release said. "Anyone who is approached by these people should immediately call the police."
