Middlesex OPP are currently investigating an attempted fraud related to a hydro company rebate in Middlesex Centre. On Saturday, Police discovered that the victim had received a phone call from an unknown individual claiming to be an employee of the hydro company, informing them of a financial rebate they were entitled to. The unknown caller then tried to arrange an in-person meeting at the victim’s residence to discuss the rebate in detail. Sensing something suspicious, the victim contacted local hydro officials, who confirmed that there were no such rebates available and identified the situation as a scam. The investigation into this matter is ongoing.
