The city is warning of ‘misleading phone calls’ circulating in Toronto in which individuals request access to people’s homes.
Residents who receive an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be affiliated with the city should report the call to Toronto police at 416-808-2222 as well as 311, the city says. Residents can find out about construction planned in their ward on the city’s website or by calling 311.
Thursday’s warning isn’t the first instance of scammers posing as city officials or municipal workers. Last fall, the city issued a warning after receiving reports of individuals posing as employees who claimed they needed to enter residences to check for sump pumps and backwater valves. A person uses a cellphone in Ottawa, July 18, 2022. A phone, a smart home, a digitally-connected car. These are the high-tech tools of digital domestic abuse that anti-violence experts say is on the rise.
