The Owen Sound Police Service is warning the public to be aware of yet another scam.
Detective Sergeant Jeff Fluney says a city resident was contacted over an alleged outstanding debt on their telecommunication services.
The notice, purporting to be from a national telecommunication company, stating the resident owed over $200 on their account balance and advised that a representative from the company would be coming to the home at a later date to collect the funds.
The resident contacted the company directly and was advised to call the police because it was a scam.
“We want to remind the community that they must always be vigilant when contacted by a company or an individual making such claims. The national telecommunications companies do not conduct business in this fashion. If people have any doubt about any correspondence they receive they should contact the company directly for clarification,” says Fluney.
