BURLINGTON, ON
Police are alerting the public.
Police would like to make the public aware of a potential scam affecting residents of Burlington.
Reports are being received of men approaching homeowners claiming to be employed with the City of Burlington, attending to complete work on the property.
The men demand cash in order to start the projects.
City employees carry authorized identification and will not request money to complete work.
Residents who suspect they are being misled by the above or similar scenario are asked to contact the Halton Regional Police Service at 9-1-1 or via our non-emergency line at 905-825-4777.
Oh, upon reading the headline I was expecting something different.
We’re being scammed, all right.
