‘Don’t let your guard down’: Collingwood OPP says stay vigilant as scammers increase activity during COVID-19

Sep 30, 2021 , , , , by shlf

Whether it’s telephone messages claiming to represent the CRA or a young person claiming to be a grandchild, fraudsters are continuing to try and scam people out of their money.

“This is still happening,” said OPP Cons. Martin Hachey. “Even though COVID has happened and a lot of things have changed, this hasn’t changed. Be aware, don’t let your guard down.”

Hachey said there are a host of scams ongoing that have fraudsters looking for victims.

The Prize Scam is one, where a prize has been won however ‘fees’ need to be paid for administration, shipping or for brokerage purposes. 

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) scam is another, where a caller advises the intended victim that they owe taxes to the CRA and must pay immediately via gift cards or cryptocurrency or face jail time.

The Tech Support scam sees the victim receive a warning that a virus has infected their computer and the scammer needs access to fix the problem. Then, they hack the computer, encrypt the hard drive and demand money, before releasing the files.

The Emergency or Grand Parent Scam sees the fraudster claiming to be a loved one who needs money to help them as they were involved in a crash, have been arrested, or need to return from a foreign country. 

Also, a romance scam recently saw a .

Hachey said residents should never give out personal information of any kind, including banking information, credit-card numbers or social-insurance numbers.

“They are very good at what they do,” he said. “Everything is a lie and that’s where tracking it is very difficult.”

The Canadian Anti-Fraud centre said the pandemic has led to more activity among scammers.

“Many Canadians are spending more time at home,” said Lisanne Roy Beauchamp, operations supervisor for the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. “As a result, fraudsters have upped their attempts to contact potential victims by phone and online. A correlation can be made between Covid-19 frauds and overall reporting to date in 2020; however, we have noted peaks and valleys in reporting over the past five years.”

Structure demolished at Hydro One’s Orillia project site, resident says

Jul 23, 2021 , , , , by shlf

Hydro One will not confirm a report that a structure at the site of its future provincial grid control centre in West Orillia was recently demolished, citing “high security needs” as the reason.

A photo taken by local resident Bill Tiffin in late October appears to show a concrete structure reduced to rubble at the fenced property along University Avenue.

The image of the site, where construction is underway on the facility, also shows a pair of excavators next to the broken-up material.

“I go by there 10 times a day, so I saw them building the entire complex, including that one tower that I watched them tear down,” Tiffin told Simcoe.com.

The local man said he watched as a “huge machine” was brought to the site in advance of what he said was the structure’s demolition.

“Something with a reach that you would normally use for digging canals and ponds and stuff,” he said. “I thought, ‘I wonder what they’re going to do with that thing’ – well, the next day I saw them using it to tear that tower down.”

Simcoe.com contacted Hydro One to determine if a structure was, indeed, torn down and, if so, for what purpose.

Tiffin’s photo was provided to Hydro One at its request.

A representative for the company later responded to Simcoe.com’s questions in an email statement.

“Due to its high security needs, specific construction details are not available,” said Alex Stewart, media relations and communications. “We expect construction to be completed by late 2021.”

Stewart said the “state of the art facility will be home to highly-skilled employees whose primary function will be to ensure the safe, secure and reliable delivery of power to communities across the province.”

Once the grid-control centre is completed, an existing facility in Barrie will serve as a backup control centre.

Hydro One anticipates moving between 150 and 250 jobs to the Orillia facility. The company’s investment in the local development is said to be approximately $150 million.

City officials, meanwhile, peg the near-term economic impact of the development at about $400 million.
