Guys showed up approx 6:00 on 10/22/13 and said they had a load of gravel left from a job they did in my subdivision and asked if I wanted my driveway done. I told them I didn't have the money, guy said it would only cost $250 - $300. I said I didn't own home and would call my roommate. He told her exact price he told me. The guys were in a real hurry to get job done. I went back inside to finish making dinner because one of them was hitting on me and making me feel uncomfortable. Within an hour and a half, another guy told me usually the whole drive would cost $7,000 but he'd do it for $4,000. I said I didn't have it, I had just filed [redacted]. He said "Well, ok, it's $2,200." I thought he meant the whole drive would be $2,200. I said "What?" He meant the work they had done was $2,200. I was stunned. I got sick, I couldn't talk, couldn't think. I didn't know what to do. There were about 6 guys standing there, I thought if I didn't pay... I didn't know what they would do. Another guy came to get money. I asked again how much it was because I was so upset I couldn't remember if it was $2,000 or $2,2000. I told him I didn't have either. He went out to check and came back in and said his boss would take $1,600. I had $1,300 cash in house for Christmas, bills and medicine and $300 in my checking account so I counted out the cash on the snack bar, twice and wrote a check. The guy counted the money once. He wrote a receipt for $1,600 and took the money and check and left. The next day when I calmed down I called cell number and talked to wife of owner. Explained I felt scammed. She said she'd talk to husband. She called back and offered to return my $300. I said no, I wanted the $1300 returned since they said it would be $300. She said she'd call back. She called back and claimed husband only received $1100 in cash, not $1300. Said she'd call back. I stopped payment on check. Have not heard from her since. Another resident of [redacted] County was scammed by same company two weeks prior to me - an elderly blind lady - her name is [redacted], [redacted] (XXX-XXX-XXXX). They followed her to the bank and made her get a certified money order for $1,600. My receipt from the guy has the name of town that you cannot read - looks like "Taber", if so that city does not exist, and the zip code belongs to the city of Waves. Either way, the company and the owner is based out of Plymouth - not Waves, or some fictitious town. I feel that I was scammed and intimidated by a group of guys who, when they found out I was alone and didn't understand what was going on, used that to their advantage. I have priced a full dump truck of pea gravel (which is what was used) from a local contractor and was told he pays $185.00 for it. I feel that $300 is a fair price for the work that was done and I want the $1,300 returned. This company used to operate under the name "[redacted]'s Paving" and was featured on WRAL's 5 on Your Side on 5/19/2010 with other companies who were scamming people with a driveway scam. They said they had 8 Revdex.com complaints in 36 months. They also had 2 [redacted] complaints where they used the same intro "I have some leftover gravel from another job..." I believe they changed their business name and are now operating under another name so they can continue to scam the people of North Carolina and that they should be STOPPED whether or not I can get my money back. Please help me.Product_Or_Service: Driveway gravelDesired SettlementI want a refund of the $1,300 which is the difference between the amount of $250 - $300 they quoted me and the $1,600 they charged me without my consent or knowledge.
