Glad you posted this. A guy with an english accent came to our home - same story, leftover asphalt, great deal, no GST. I called a local guy for an estimate (same price as the "great deal") and he cautioned me about this type of scam. Then I found out the contractor didn't have a business license and the address on his card is for Mailboxes Etc. Can't say it's a scam -- he did work for some folks in our community, only time will tell if it stands up to any wear -- but it is suspicious. So just be careful folks.
