FRAUD  ALERT – CONSTRUCTION

With the nicer weather fast approaching, the Chatham-Kent Police have received several fraud complaints about paving and other construction companies conducting door-to-door sales, entering into contracts, and then not honouring the contracts.

We want to caution regarding door-to-door sales for construction or handyman services such as asphalt & paving and home repairs. While reputable companies undoubtedly engage in door-to-door sales, many scams and unethical practices are associated with this type of marketing. Here are some general cautions to keep in mind:

  1. High-pressure sales tactics: Be wary of salespeople who use high-pressure tactics to try to get you to sign a contract or make a deposit right away. They may try to create a sense of urgency or tell you that the offer is only suitable for a limited time. Remember that you have the right to take your time and make an informed decision.
  2. Lack of credentials: Ensure the company has the necessary licenses, permits, and insurance to perform the work. Be bold and ask for proof of these credentials before signing a contract.
  3. No written contract: Make sure you receive a written agreement that includes all the details of the work to be performed, including the scope of the work, materials to be used, timeline, and payment terms. Do not rely on verbal promises or handshake agreements.
  4. Lack of references: Ask the company for references from previous customers and follow up with them to get an idea of the company’s quality of work and customer service.
  5. Unusually low prices: Be cautious of companies that offer significantly lower prices than their competitors. This may be a sign of substandard materials or workmanship or a scam.
  6. Unsolicited offers: Be cautious of unsolicited offers for construction services, mainly if the salesperson shows up at your doorstep without an appointment.

Overall, it’s essential to do your research and take the time to make an informed decision when it comes to door-to-door sales for construction and handyman services. Be bold, ask questions, and do your due diligence before signing a contract or depositing.

Missed court date leads to drug charges

Missing a court date led to drug and other charges for a Guelph man.

Friday evening, shortly after 7 p.m., officers were at a Woolwich Street business on an unrelated matter when they spotted a male known to be wanted for missing a court date last summer on charges including escaping custody and resisting arrest. He was placed under arrest on the outstanding warrant.

During a search officers recovered suspected fentanyl and crystal methamphetamine in unlabelled jars, as well as a digital scale and two cellphones. Officers observed incoming messages on the phones including one seeking to procure fentanyl. Officers also recovered a credit card in someone else’s name.

A 32-year-old Guelph man is charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possessing a controlled substance, possession of a stolen credit card, breaching probation and failing to attend court. He was held for a bail hearing and has been released to appear in court April 19.

Approximately 9:15 p.m. officers were conducting a spot check on Woodlawn Road East near Woolwich Street. An officer spoke to a driver and detected a strong odour of alcoholic beverage.

A 44-year-old Kitchener man is charged with impaired driving. His licence was automatically suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded for seven days.

Approximately 1,500 vehicles were checked during weekend RIDE programs. Six drivers were handed three-day suspensions after breath tests registered in the ‘warn’ range, while two other tickets were issued under the Highway Traffic Act for equipment infractions.

The Guelph Police Service would like to encourage the public to always consume alcohol and cannabis responsibly. Please don’t drive if you are going to consume alcohol or cannabis, and please ensure that you plan ahead so that you have a safe ride home.

Man arrested after assault at party

A Hamilton man has been arrested after another man was beaten until losing consciousness at a Guelph party last month.

Just after 12:30 a.m. February 4, emergency services were called to a residence near Dublin Street North and Durham Street. Investigation revealed two males were attending a party and became involved in a verbal altercation. The males went outside where the dispute became physical.

A 17-year-old Guelph boy was punched several times and lost consciousness. He was transported to hospital for treatment of head injuries.

Two seniors scammed out of thousands

The Guelph Police Service is reminding residents to be very cautious when dealing with unknown individuals after two seniors were scammed out of thousands of dollars in separate incidents Tuesday.

In both cases, residents in their 80s reported they received phone calls from someone they believed was their grandson who claimed they had been involved in collisions and injured their noses, which is why they sounded different. Both victims reported the phone was then passed to another person – one claiming to be a lawyer, the other a police officer – who explained their “grandson” needed to come up with cash to secure their release from jail.

In both cases arrangements were made for someone to attend the victim’s residence to collect the cash. One victim handed over $8,000 and the other $6,000.

One described the person who collected the cash as a black male in his early 20s, 5’6” to 5’10” with a slim build. The other reported he handed the cash to a black male and female with dreadlocks who arrived in an older-model grey sedan — possibly a Toyota — with tinted windows. At this time it is unknown if the incidents are related.

The Guelph Police Service reminds residents to be cautious when dealing with people on the telephone, even if you believe you know who you are talking to. 

  • Never send or give money to people you are not sure you know 
  • Take the time to verify the story 
  • If the story involves a loved one, try to contact that person on your own or ask questions only they would be able to answer 
  • Never volunteer personal information to callers 

Second man arrested in repeated break-in

A second Guelph man has been arrested following repeated break-ins to an apartment building near downtown.
