JAMESTOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. – The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department is warning area residents of a scam going around in the Hudsonville area.
Investigators say that an 81-year-old Hudsonville couple were scammed of over $3500 last week. They say that on July 6, the couple was outside their home when a heavy-duty pickup truck pulled into their driveway. The suspects talked the couple into letting them “re-seal” their driveway for $3,700. They apparently wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer and began spraying a liquid on the driveway. About an hour later, they demanded a check and after receiving it, they left the scene.
Investigators say the work is sub-par.
One of the suspects was identified through bank records as Dustin Nicholas, 27, from Lake Charles, Louisiana. The other suspect is described as a large man as well, weighing over 300lbs. Their vehicle is described as a light-colored full-size pickup truck with no markings, with a small tank and pump sprayer on the back.
Investigators think this scam was also reported in Coloma Township in Berrien County within the past week.
