Residents are being warned by the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP about door-to-door scams, where individuals falsely claim ties to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB). Using phone calls, these scammers offer green energy assessments, pushing homeowners to buy products for supposed rebate eligibility. Ontario residents are urged to stay vigilant, verify credentials, and report suspicious activity to local authorities. If you suspect fraud, contact your local police service and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.
