Subject: RE: suspicious OEG “inspection” in Champlain park

Thanks for this info Sarah,

We have been getting a few of these types going around claiming to be with business they are not actually affiliated with. It is exactly what you think a scam to get inside and sell services not needed or to return later for a B&E/theft.

Here is a link to our web page possibly share it with you community it speaks directly about door to door scams. I will also forward it out to my other NHW groups.

thanks a lot

Mise en garde concernant une arnaque de collecte de fonds

Ottawa — Le Service de police d’Ottawa tient à mettre au courant la population en rapport à une arnaque récente où un fraudeur prétend recueillir de l’argent au nom du Service de police d’Ottawa et s’affaire à obtenir le numéro de carte de crédit de sa victime.

La Police d’Ottawa tient à rappeler aux gens qu’elle ne sollicite pas de dons de la part du public.

L’Unité des fraudes organisées de la Police d’Ottawa prie les gens qui ont été victimes de cette arnaque de bien vouloir communiquer avec la Police d’Ottawa pour signaler l’incident.

En cette période de l’année, bien des fraudeurs abusent de la générosité des gens pour recueillir des dons « charitables » qui ne sont pas légitimes. Si vous souhaitez faire un don à l’endroit d’un organisme de bienfaisance particulier, faites-le par la voie de son site web officiel ou en téléphonant à ses bureaux.

Toute personne ayant des renseignements concernant une fraude de ce type est priée de communiquer avec la Section des fraudes organisées de la Police d’Ottawa en composant le 613-236-1222, poste 5292. Vous pouvez fournir anonymement des renseignements par la voie d’Échec au crime en composant sans frais le 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), ou en téléchargeant gratuitement l’appli de la Police d’Ottawa.
