This is the time of year that they come out of the wood- work in droves. Already this year, the OPP has seen sev- eral scams against the elderly by fraudsters posing as water purification experts, ripping- off the victims for hundreds of dollars. Fly-by-night home repair or maintenance fraudsters target victims, selling prod- ucts or services that are of little or no value to the client. They are often very pushy and rude and prey on those who are weak or liv- ing alone. To prevent fraud, the OPP advises: Always get at least three quotes on any project around the house, regardless of the service or product being pur- chased / sold. Never sign a contract without checking the cred- ibility of the company or person selling the product or service. Elderly persons, or those with little business experi- ence, should never sign a contract without running it by a trusted family member, friend or neighbour. Never fully open or unlock your door to any- one you dont know. Talk through a locked or secured door if you dont know their identity. If you dont want them at your door tell them to go away. If they dont, call police. Report suspicious per- sons or activity to police immediately. There is no magic to pre- venting fraud. If something sounds too good to be true, or seems a little weird it probably is. Trust your in- stincts, not the stranger at your door.
