Northumberland OPP wish to remind residents to only allow access to your property to people you trust. Ask for photo ID, get the name of the person and of the company or business they represent. Don’t feel pressured into making a quick decision and take time to do some research into the person providing the products or service and never hand over money unless you’ve personally approved the work.

Anyone who suspects they have been the victim of cybercrime or fraud should report it to their local police and to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre’s online reporting system or by phone at 1-888-495-8501.
