Toronto warns residents about fake city employees trying to access homes to perform water inspection
The city issued a warning saying there have been reports of homeowners being called by individuals posing as its employees who say they need to enter the residence to check for sump pumps and backwater valves.In an email to CP24, the city said they’ve received six calls regarding home visits related to water inspections in the past three months, though they were unable to verify if those calls are linked to “this specific scam.
Wednesday’s tweet was prompted after a City of Toronto staff member received what a city spokesperson described as a “misleading phone call.” “He [the caller] knew the staff member's street name in Scarborough and said that they’d be at their street checking residential backwater valves and sump pumps,” a spokesperson said in an email to CP24.
“He said it would take 10 minutes and asked if anyone would be home. Once the staff member started asking questions, he quickly hung up.” There have been reports of homeowners being called by individuals posing as City employees claiming that they must access people’s homes to check for sump pumps and backwater valves. This work is not being conducted by the City. For questions or concerns, contact 311.
