Two new identity theft scams

Subject: Two new identity theft scams
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 11:12:13 -0400
From: Dawn Neilly <wellingtoncpc@gmail.com>

Ottawa Police Service is advising the public about two new identity theft scams:

1.

The Ottawa Police Service would like to make the public aware about a scam whereby phone calls are received from the “Marriott Hotel”. People are being asked for personal information over the phone.

Marriott International is aware that people have been receiving calls about a “free Marriott Hotel rooms” prize. The Marriott takes privacy and security seriously and assures you that this call is a scam and did not come from Marriott International or any of its affiliates.

The Ottawa Police would like to remind the public that no personal identification or banking information, including credit card information, should ever be given over the phone to strangers. As well, you cannot “win” a prize for a contest that you have not entered.

You can view more Fraud Prevention tips at http://www.ottawapolice.ca/en/safety-and-crime-prevention/Fraud-Prevention.asp

Anyone with information regarding this type of identity fraud is asked to call the Ottawa Police Fraud Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5433. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or by downloading the Ottawa Police iOS app.

2.

The Ottawa Police Organized Fraud Section is sharing information about a new scam that may be used to steal your identity.

In this scam, a victim is contacted by letter in regular mail delivery. The letter claims that a company registered with the victim’s home address, is in arrears in their bills to a second company, and that the company is now demanding payment. The victim – who does not have any knowledge of the company – begins to suspect that their identity has been stolen to set up said company.

The letter has a contact number for more details. When the victim calls this number, he/she will speak to a β€œclerk” and asked to provide an Identification number, which is printed on the already received letter. The β€œclerk” then claims to be able to pull up more information about the matter and e-mails the victim a form titled as β€œID Theft Affidavit”.

This form asks the victim to provide personal information, including date of birth, SIN and Drivers License numbers and photocopies of photo ID. The bottom of the form typically states: β€œDo Not Send Affidavit to the FTC or any other Government Agency”. This strange statement should raise alarm bells with readers.

β€œThe Ottawa Police want to warn the public about providing personal information to β€œghost” companies,” said Fraud Unit Staff Sergeant Stephanie Burns. β€œWhen in doubt, contact a credit company to determine if there are any discrepancies in your credit history.”

La Police d’Ottawa tient Γ  rappeler Γ  la population qu’aucun renseignement personnel ou bancaire, y compris ceux liΓ©s aux cartes de crΓ©dit, ne doivent Γͺtre communiquΓ©s par tΓ©lΓ©phone Γ  des Γ©trangers.

La Section des fraudes organisΓ©es du Service de police d’Ottawa fait part de renseignements touchant Γ  une nouvelle arnaque qui pourrait servir Γ  usurper votre identitΓ©.

Dans cette arnaque, la victime est contactΓ©e par lettre, livrΓ©e par courrier rΓ©gulier. La lettre soutient qu’une compagnie enregistrΓ©e Γ  l’adresse du domicile de la victime est en souffrance de rΓ¨glement de ses factures envers une deuxiΓ¨me compagnie, et que cette derniΓ¨re exige maintenant d’Γͺtre payΓ©e. La victime – qui n’a aucune connaissance de ladite compagnie – commence Γ  soupΓ§onner que son identitΓ© a Γ©tΓ© usurpΓ©e pour mettre sur pied la compagnie.

La lettre comprend un numΓ©ro Γ  composer pour obtenir plus de dΓ©tails. Lorsque la victime appelle Γ  ce numΓ©ro, elle parlera Γ  un Β« prΓ©posΓ© Β» qui la priera de fournir un numΓ©ro d’identitΓ©, qui est imprimΓ© sur la lettre dΓ©jΓ  reΓ§ue. Le Β« prΓ©posΓ© Β» prΓ©tend alors d’Γͺtre en mesure de consulter d’autres renseignements sur l’affaire, et expΓ©die par courriel un formulaire intitulΓ© Β« ID Theft Affidavit Β» (Affidavit d’usurpation d’identitΓ©).

Ce formulaire demande Γ  la victime de fournir des renseignements personnels, dont sa date de naissance, son NAS et des numΓ©ros et photocopies de permis de conduire et de piΓ¨ces d’identitΓ© avec photo. Au bas du formulaire, il est typiquement indiquΓ© : Β« N’envoyez pas d’affidavit Γ  la FTC ou Γ  tout autre organisme gouvernemental Β». Cet Γ©trange Γ©noncΓ© devrait sonner l’alarme chez son lecteur.

Β« La Police d’Ottawa tient Γ  avertir la population de ne pas fournir des donnΓ©es personnelles Γ  des compagnie ‘fantΓ΄mes’, a dΓ©clarΓ© Stephanie Burns, sergent d’Γ©tat-major de l’UnitΓ© des fraudes. Β« En cas de doute, contactez une maison de crΓ©dit afin de vΓ©rifier s’il existe des anomalies dans vos antΓ©cΓ©dents en matiΓ¨re de crΓ©dit. Β»

Local Commercial Study New Planning Committee Date

From: Andrew.McCreight@ottawa.ca
Subject: Local Commercial – new Planning Committee date
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 15:53:02 +0000

Hello,

I wanted to take this opportunity to provide an update concerning the Local Commercial Study (http://www.ottawa.ca/neighbourhoodstores). All participants in the study thus far are Bcc’d on this e-mail.

It has recently come to my attention that the public circulation mailed out in the beginning of January 2015 did not reach all the affected property owners.

The Zoning By-law amendment resulting from this study was scheduled for Planning Committee on April 28, 2015. However, due to this unfortunate circumstance the item will be delayed to a Planning Committee meeting likely in June. In the interim, notice of the proposal will be mailed directly to ALL affected property owners (ie. property proposed to be rezoned).

While Planning Committee is now anticipated for June 9, 2015, notice will sent accordingly once this public meeting date is confirmed.

The link β€œStudy update – March 31, 2015” on the study website contains the most current information.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

Andrew

Street Sweeping Operations now in effect

http://ottawa.ca/en/residents/transportation-and-parking/road-and-sidewalk-maintenance/street-sweeping

The city’s annual spring sweeping of streets and sidewalks is now underway and may result in noise and dust in your neighbourhood.

Residents in neighbourhoods in the downtown core of the city, such as Vanier, New Edinburgh, Sandy Hill and the Glebe are reminded that day and night on-street parking restrictions will be in effect between Tuesday, April 14 and Friday, April 17. Please note that dates are weather dependant and are subject to change without notice.

These restrictions apply to all vehicles, including those with on-street parking permits, to allow for effective sweeping of the roads. Temporary no-parking signs will be posted prominently in these areas. Vehicles parked where temporary no-parking signs are posted could be ticketed and towed to nearby streets.

Your patience and cooperation in keeping vehicles off the streets during the spring cleanup is appreciated.

Street and sidewalk sweeping improves public safety and helps prevent catch basins from becoming blocked with debris. Annually, the City sweeps over 6,000 kilometers of roadway and over 2,000 kilometres of sidewalks to keep Ottawa clean and green.

The City of Ottawa’s winter overnight parking restrictions are now completed for the 2014-2015 season. The City would like to thank you for your cooperation in making our streets safer throughout the winter season.
