Be Aware - Of The Bitumen (Asphalt) Scam

Residents are to be aware of current fraudsters' offering to lay bitumen at what appears to be a great deal; however, the service may be of a substandard quality and/or demand more money than initially quoted.

If you are approached with the offer to fix potholes etc, please ask to see their white card, produce an ABN or contractor's licence.

The fraudsters may lead people to believe they work for or with Moree Plains Shire Council.

Please contact the police or NSW Fair Trading to report the activity.
