Scam Reminder

  • May 28, 2023

From the Ward 3 Office


A reminder to residents that scams can come in many forms and to please use due diligence when engaging in any kind of transaction. A couple of tips to help:


- Reputable companies will provide a written estimate and contract, and likely not offer to do the work same/next day. As well, reputable companies don't typically engage in cash sales.


- Reputable companies should have branding that is consistent and detailed, showing an investment of time, money, and effort.


- Companies engaging in work should have / present proof of insurance upon request.


- Do research on the company's historical record (jobs completed, references, community reputation, etc.)


If you have fallen victim to a scam, you can report it to the Ottawa Police Services.
