Locals should lookout for home improvement scams

Contractors recently laid down this gravel on the driveway of Diane Railey in Coosa County. Railey said she was approached by someone last week who had cement left over from pouring a basement and was willing to sell the left over to her for 75 cents a square. She signed contract for cement but they brought this instead, “Just some gravel and dust. Luckily I had not paid them any money.” (Cliff Williams/ The Outlook)

You know what they say, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

That quote was the case last week with Kellyton’s Diane Railey when someone with a deal approached her.
