Authorities are warning of unlicensed repairmen coming into the city after they say an Orangeburg resident was taken in a driveway scam.
Police on patrol Wednesday noticed a pair of workers at a Perryclear Road residence doing what looked like paint work to the driveway. Officers remembered workers were at the same residence last week, the report says.
Officers asked the two North Augusta men what they were doing. The men said they were repairing the seniors driveway. They admitted they had been out the previous week to do the same job. When officers asked for their business license, they had none.
The men said they charged $120 to seal the driveway each time. The homeowner couldnt remember how much they charged, the report states. They went on to say they were looking for paving work, but officers noted their equipment was a sprayer and a five gallon bucket of metal roof sealant.
The men were cited for having no business license. When they were found to have no drivers license, their 2013 Dodge truck was towed. They were also placed on no trespassing notice.
Theyve been in Orangeburg before and police say they may be back again.
Orangeburg Department of Public Safety Capt. Ed Conner said the majority of genuine repair service businesses will not go door to door. But should anyone have such a visit, there are precautions that can be taken.
As a resident, they have the right to ask for their business permit and solicitation permit, Conner said. Any legitimate business will have both of these.
To operate in the city of Orangeburg, a business permit is required. To go door to door, a solicitation permit is required.
Authorities say the majority of the traveling scammers use fake repair services such as roof repair with shoddy or even no materials used, thinned-down paint and driveway scams.

Sullivan Co. receives close to $2 million for blighted home demolition - Video
NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) -
Demolition began Friday morning after a historic three-story building collapsed Wednesday afternoon in the heart of the French Quarter.
Bricks and debris clutter Royal Street, which remains blocked between Dumaine and St. Ann.
The collapse happened in the 800 block of Royal Street. The building partially collapsed around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Firefighters and building inspectors spent hours monitoring the situation before the building collapsed around 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.
The building was more than 200 years old. It was an apartment building rented by one family.
Neighbors say that the building appeared neglected.
I've been in the building many times. Just imagine stepping into a time capsule, explains Craig Tracy, a French Quarter business owner. This looked like something that hadn't been touched since the 40's. The plumbing was at least that old. Everything was just neglected.
Eight families that live in adjacent buildings are temporarily forced to find another place to stay.
The Vieux Carre Commission does have an inspector who is only responsible for looking at the exterior of buildings in the French Quarter. In 2011, the building's owner was cited for what is called minor demolition by neglect, which means some repairs are needed.
Due to the old age of the building, demolition companies worry about the presence of asbestos. This required a special permit from the Department of Environmental Quality.

Demolition underway after historic French Quarter building collapses
NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) -
Demolition cranes began tearing down what's left of a collapsed building in the French Quarter, but some residents are complaining after being forced out of their homes for three days.
Bricks and mortar crumbled like powder as demolition crews began removing what is left of a collapsed building at 808 Royal St.
"Our mission talks about life and property. We're fortunate we haven't lost anybody," said New Orleans Fire Department Superintendent Tim McConnell.
It's a delicate operation, which has forced several business owners, and residents on either side of the property to be evacuated, and have to stay in hotels, for three days.
"Coming out of my own pocket, and not being able to work, that's been frustrating," said St Ann Street resident Sherry Dooley
The building, which is owned by Elaine Petrie, began crumbling Tuesday, with a near total collapse on Wednesday.
" I've been here seven years, the only thing that's been done is the front was painted," said neighbor Lawrence Tullier.
While work crews took away what's left of the collapsed building some of the residents displaced were confused about some of the rules being applied to this block.
"You would think you would be afraid of a gas explosion, our gas is still on," said Tullier.

KINGSTON It was demolition day for an 83-year-old building at a car dealership in Luzerne County.
It only took hours to bring down what was the home to Bonner Chevrolet in Kingston.
Its part of a big expansion for the dealership that will mean a whole new look along busy Wyoming avenue.
Part of the building housed the office where Pat Gilberson worked for more than a decade. She took a break from work to watch it go.
Other workers and customers did too, stopping to see the place that served generations of car customers become no more.
Rich Crossin was watching family history come down. Crossin and his brothers run Bonner Chevrolet now. The dealership moved into part of its new home earlier this week but theres more to come.
Family members came to document the demolition.
As this building comes down, work continues in the service garage feet away. The dealership is staying open through all this.
Crews were careful to only bring down whats not needed.
It only took them hours to wipe away 8 decades of service from this building.

Demolition Day at Dealership in Kingston
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) - Emergency demolition crews were back in the French Quarter trying to safely tear down the remains of a fallen building. The historic structure began to crumble without warning Tuesday.
WGNO News Reporter Darian Trotter has the latest on the clean-up.
Its really sad that it fell a 200-year-old building just collapsed, neighbor Brant Bargfeldt said.
Since the collapse that began Tuesday emergency demolition crews have been trying to figure out how best to remove whats left of the historic residential building located in the 800 block of Royal Street in the French Quarter.
Its going to take a lot just to bring that down and not damage anything else.
Police barricades were put in place Thursday to keep on lookers at a safe distance. Landon Gates was one of them.
I think that its kind of a shame that they left the building get to that condition but if its a dangerous, youve got to take it down, Gates said.
This is cell phone video taken during Wednesdays collapse that forced 8 area businesses to close temporarily; and residents of at least 5 homes have been displaced.
Im just shocked how I can collapse right in the middle of the two, tourist Francesca Ramsey said.
At least one of the adjacent buildings shares a wall with the crumbling structure.

According to the consultation document (39-page / 826 KB PDF) the government proposes to allow councils to require that custom builders demonstrate a connection to the local area in order to register an interest in acquiring a serviced plot. This connection could be through residency in the area for a specified period of time to be decided by the council, or through the residency of close family members, the document said.
Under the proposals, prospective builders would need to demonstrate access to sufficient funds "to acquire a plot of land and commission or build a home on it", would need to be European Economic Area citizens and be more than 18 years old. Funding would only be available for plots to be used as an applicant's main residential home.
Once registers of prospective custom builders have been set up by local authorities, the government would expect them to be taken into account in the preparation of local plans and in authorities' five year housing land supply figures. Registered builders would be able to indicate their preferences for the location and price of a plot under the proposals, and councils would have to offer "a minimum of three plots" within two and a half years of registration in order to meet the requirements under the Right.
In areas with high demand or constrained supply, the document envisages that councils might work together across boundaries, although it proposes that "the Right remains with the authority where the prospective custom builder has a local connection".
The document said that the government intends to enact the first element of the Right to Build, the establishment of a register of prospective custom builders who are seeking a suitable service plot of land, through a private members bill brought by Richard Bacon. Further legislation would then be proposed for the next Parliament in order to fully introduce the scheme.
The eleven 'Right to Build vanguard' councils chosen to participate in a pilot of the scheme were announced on 30 September. The participating local authorities are Cherwell District Council (DC); Exmoor and Dartmoor National Park Authorities; Oldham City Council (CC); Pendle Borough Council; Sheffield CC; Shropshire Council; South Cambridgeshire DC; South Norfolk Council; Stoke on Trent CC; Teignbridge DC; and West Lindsey DC. The Greater London Authority will also test a register for the whole of London.
The consultation is open until 18 December.
