Watch for Phone Scams

Please be aware of fraudulent phone calls, especially targeting our mature clients

OPP are warning the public about a telephone scam, where the caller poses as a representative from the homeowner’s security alarm provider [Alcom Security]. Police say the call starts with the individual saying he’s “from your alarm company” and informs the resident their system isn’t working properly.

For Your Safety: If you receive such a call hang up and call Alcom immediately at 416-798-7721; a quick phone call to us to confirm whether the call is legitimate can make all the difference.
