This is to report to the people of Leamington that there is an ongoing door to door scam. Last weekend I had a person at the door telling me he was from the "Ontario Energy Group" and he had a briefcase with a yellow Energy Guide (the type found on furnaces) sticker on the side of the case. He told me that the government needed them to look at my energy guide on my furnace. I told him to go away and he angrily told me I'd be hearing from them via mail. I then watched the W5 program about this scam and the money people spend because these scammers tell them their furnace is not good anymore or safe anymore and pressure them into new furnaces, etc. Today, in town, there were 2 people going door to door with the same briefcase. The W5 report stated that this "group" claims they are not doing this anymore. Perhaps they've changed their name and continue to scam. They represent themselves as probable government employees. A neighbour was told that they missed the mailing, or accidentally threw it away, and it was really important for their safety to have these people enter their home and check the furnace. He sent them away. Beware and DO NO let anyone into your house when you don't know who they are or why they are there.
