It appears a door-to-door sales scam is back in Chatham-Kent.
Some homeowners are reporting sales people are knocking on their doors, claiming furnace and air conditioner inspections are needed to meet changing regulations before pushing costly contracts.
Entegrus Director of Corporate Services Garry Symons says the utility does not send employees door-to-door and recommends homeowners take information from sales people.
"Take the information. If you haven't set up an appointment with someone and are not aware of or don't have the information or aren't comfortable with anyone, don't allow them into your home," says Symons. "If you're interested in any way, shape or form or have questions, take the information down, do your research and then follow it up from there. Never feel pressured."
Symons adds homeowners have ten days after signing a contract and 30 days after the first bill to cancel the agreement. For more information and tips on dealing with potential scammers, click here.
