Peterborough County OPP are investigating reports of fake canvassers going door-to-door in the village of Havelock and claiming to represent local charities.
On Tuesday, OPP say they received a call from Community Care Havelock’s community development coordinator who reported concerns from multiple residents in the village about door-to-door sales of raffle tickets in the organization’s name.
OPP say Community Care Havelock is currently not doing any ticket sales and never canvasses door-to-door to collect funds. The organization provides services that support the health and well-being of seniors and adults with physical challenges.
Witnesses have reported an older man with a grey beard has been going door-to-door asking for contributions on behalf of the charity. Community Care Havelock says they have no affiliation with the individual.
Havelock Seniors Club
OPP say a man and a woman are reportedly canvassing door-to-door, claiming to sell 50/50 raffle tickets for the Havelock Seniors Club. The club confirmed they had been selling raffle tickets but are no longer going door-to-door.
OPP advise residents in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Township to call them at 1-88-310-1122 if someone comes to their door claiming to sell 50/50 tickets for either organization.
