Chickasaw County Sheriff Alerts Residents to Seal Coating Scam

The Chickasaw County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is alerting citizens to a seal coating scam.

A department  social media post notes that they have “been informed of individuals operating a suspected seal coating scam in both Chickasaw and Bremer counties. The individuals are reportedly traveling in a white Ford F-150 pulling a trailer and a white Jeep with Texas license plates.”

The notification adds, “They are going door-to-door offering seal coating services, similar to dust control or asphalt maintenance.”

If you’re approached by someone fitting this description, CCSO advises asking these important questions:

*Can I get everything in writing?

*What is your payment policy?

*Do you offer a written notice of cancellation?

*What is your start and completion date?

*Do you have a local reference?

If you feel you’ve been targeted by these scammers, contact the Chickasaw County Sheriff’s Office at 641-394-3121 and press Option 2.
