scam 3MONCKS CORNER, S.C.โ€”The Moncks Corner Police Department is warning homeowners about a possible scam involving curbside painting.

According to Moncks Corner Officer Steve Meadows, a homeowner received a notice that “reflective curb addresses will be painted and repainted.”

โ€œThe number on the flyer is disconnected, and there is no business name on the notice,โ€ stated Meadows.ย โ€œWe have checked, and to our knowledge no one has applied for a permit to complete any such work in the town.ย โ€œ

Meadows added that the fleet also does not give a business name.

โ€œโ€ฆwhich seems odd,โ€ he stated.

Meadows is advising homeowners that if they are approached by someone going door to door, ask them for their Business License/Permit to conduct business in the town.

โ€œIf there is any doubt, do not hesitate to call and have an officer check the individual,โ€ he warned.

To report this possible scam, contact central dispatch at 843-719-7917 or Meadows at 843-719-7930.
