The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service is warning the community of a potential fraud/scam where scammers claiming to be a utility company call victims on the phone and advise they will be coming to their home to conduct free work.
How to Protect Yourself:
- Hang up and call the company directly using the phone number found on your bills
- Never share personal or payment information with unsolicited callers
- Don't let strangers into your home
- Report fraud to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre
