🚨 Thinking about getting work done on your home?

If a work crew just happens to show up at your door offering a great deal, think twice. 🚧 This is not a coincidence or your lucky day.

🏘️ There is a scam happening in Nova Scotia where crews go door to door in neighbourhoods, offering on the spot deals for roofing, siding, paving, or other home improvements. The catch? They take your money and disappear, or worse, they go to “inspect” the area and cause damage themselves, making repairs more urgent and costly.

These scammers rely on pressure, convenience, and the appearance of legitimacy to get you to agree quickly. Protect yourself by:

🚪 Never hiring someone who shows up unannounced.

📸 Ensuring your doorbell camera is working so you can capture who’s at your door.

🛠️ Getting multiple quotes from reputable, established companies.

📝 Checking licences, references, and reviews.

💵 Never paying large amounts upfront.

➡️If something feels off, trust your instincts. Legitimate contractors don’t pressure you at your doorstep.

If you are the victim of fraud or you suspect , report it to https://antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/index-eng.htm and your local police.

- Great information on spotting fake AI-generated content!

AI-generated content is getting harder to recognize.

Those behind the fraud are using new methods to mimic trusted people and institutions to trick you into urgent action.

🚩 Spot the red flags:
- Video clues: unnatural movements, mismatched audio, or inconsistent lighting and shadows
- Audio clues: monotone, odd pacing and pauses, robotic echo

✅ Always:
- Confirm messages through verified contact information you have, always check sender information carefully
- Verify URLs and handles
- Reverse-search images to spot reused or AI-generated profile images in unsolicited outreach
