Owen Sound residents warned about scammers posing as city staff

The City of Owen Sound is warning the public about a recent telephone and home entry scam.

The city reported people posing as officials of the City of Owen Sound are telephoning, and may come to the door, stating they need to come into your home to check that your water is safe to drink.

These people are not City of Owen Sound staff. City staff do not go door to door for this purpose.

Anyone who receives contact from the suspects should call Owen Sound Police Services at 519-376-1234.

The City of Owen Sound is reminding residents to not give out any personal information over the telephone or allow anyone inside their home without proper authorization and identification.
