The City of Owen Sound is warning the community about a recent telephone/home entry scam.
According to a media release, people posing as city workers or officials are telephoning, and may come to the door, stating they need to come into a person’s home to check that the water is safe to drink.
These people are not City of Owen Sound staff. The City says its staff do not go door to door for this purpose.
If you receive contact from someone doing this, you’re asked to contact Owen Sound police at 519-376-1234.
The City of Owen Sound says it would like to remind residents to not give out any personal information over the telephone
or allow anyone inside your home without proper authorization and identification.
