An investigation has revealed that a defunct government rebate program is being used in a door-to-door scam attempt across Ontario. Scammers are reportedly targeting residents, falsely claiming they are eligible for rebates from the "Ontario Energy Rebate Program," a program that was officially discontinued in 2017. The con artists are requesting personal information and, in some cases, attempting to gain entry into homes under the guise of processing these non-existent rebates. Authorities are warning the public to be vigilant and not to share any personal or financial details with unsolicited visitors claiming to represent government programs, especially those that have been terminated.
