Description

A representative from a company called Total Paving came to the door with a story about a lost contract and would we like to take advantage of the load of asphalt for a great deal, no money or deposit needed until the job was done. Extremely aggressive individual called Bob *****, thick Irish accent, insisted they had to start immediately. No company logo on their vehicle. Their email address took me to a website in Illinois called Total Paving. When questioned he said they had an office in Collingwood Ontario but there is no Total Paving Co in Collingwood. There was no phone number for head office on Jane St in Toronto and he could not give me that phone number. He kept redirecting me to Dave, his supposed boss in Collingwood. I talked to Dave and he gave me no clear answer to my questions or a phone number for head office. Bob became physical and started poking me saying I had to be more trusting. He continued to insist on starting the job. He would not even give us 10 minutes to talk to my husband in private about the job. He said “ok I’m just going to do the job” I firmly said no you’re not. He took back his business card with the bogus email address and his boss’s phone number on it. Their logo on the card was Total Paving with a tractor. The card had a head office address on Jane St Toronto with no contact information except a phone number to call Dave. He was clearly angry when he left.
