Oxford OPP are reminding the public of door-to-door scammers.
OXFORD - If a solicitor comes to your house Oxford OPP are reminding the public that you don't have to open the door.
This comes after calls to police where people who claim to be with pest control, driveway pavers, fundraisers or phone companies demand personal and credit card information.
The police say you are not being rude for not opening your door; you are protecting yourself and your property.
If you have already provided personal information, call your credit card company immediately.
Steps to prevent this from happening include putting up a no soliciting sign and making it clearly visible at your front door. Don't answer your door, and if the solicitor won't leave, call the police.
