Teddy Bear Scam

Scammers posing as OPP asking for money for teddy bears

NORFOLK COUNTY - If you've received a telephone call asking for your financial support for teddy bears, it's a scam.

 
Norfolk OPP say they have received a number of inquiries from residents after they claim to have been contacted asking for money for their Community Bear Program.
 
OPP says their teddy bear program is sponsored by Aviva Canada and do not ask the community for money. 
 
Through the sponsorship, Aviva Canada Inc. provides OPP officers with black and white teddy bears which they give to traumatized children they encounter when they respond to incidents such as motor vehicle collisions.
 
The OPP is reminding people to verify the legitimacy of any organization that calls to solicit funds from the public.
