If someone at your door claims to be from a utility company, municipality, or government agency, be sure to shut the door! It may be a scam - these organizations will not send salespeople door-to-door. Ontario.ca/doortodoor

Your personal information is your strongest asset. If you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from the government, it is likely a scam. The Government of Ontario will never reach out to request personal, banking, or health information. Ontario.ca/scams
