On the lam: A trio of alleged paving scammers accused of pulling a bait-and-switch on elderly homeowners around Ulster County. From the Daily Freeman:
Rodney Cooper, 48, Rodney T. Cooper, 28, and James Lambert, 45, are wanted on arrest warrants for attempted grand larceny, a felony, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The office said the three preyed upon an elderly homeowner, offering to seal her driveway for a reduced price of only a few hundred dollars due to the woman's age. But once they completed the work, the cost had jumped into the thousands of dollars and the homeowner did not have the money on hand to pay them, the Sheriff’s Office said.
