HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - A driveway scam is sweeping Boyd County, Ky., and Lawrence County, Ohio.
Police say Glen Stamper, Jonathan Meddings and Rocky Lee Sloan have been conning elderly people, impersonating concrete workers.
Stamper and Meddings were paid $700 to seal James and Shirley Davis' driveway in Russell.
"They worked hard and if they had used the quality of the material. It would have been a great job," Shirley Davis said. "We feel like we've been scammed."
Instead, Stamper and Meddings left the Davis' driveway a sandy concrete material that washed away.
Homes in Ashland, Flatwoods and Proctorville were also hit.
"They were dressed like construction workers--so we just figured they were hard-working people," Shirley Davis said.

they deserve to die,lady what the heck isn't that alittle rough...i see what kind of person you are...we need the whole story there is always two sides...maybe it was the wrong materials or maybe the materials were just bad....alot of contractors do the same things really don't see anyone putting them down we had a large company do some work for my 89yr old grandmother and we didn't know it but they took her for more money than she told us and it wasn't a few weeks later it all fell apart...now this company being well known and having lots of money including my grandmother got out of it so what can you do saying deserve to dir=e wouldn't be my choice of words...just lesson learned.....
