Police are warning residents about door-to-door fraudsters attempting to get a look inside your home.
Devon Pageau knows this first hand.
A seemingly quiet day for Pageau quickly changing into a heated conversation
"He had a clipboard and a name tag and I waved to him and said, no I'm not interested and he's like, 'no I'm not trying to sell you anything, I need to come in and inspect your furnace," says Pageau.
Police believe the inspector was an alleged fraudster.
Officials are warning the public of suspects going door-to-door demanding entry, often times aggressive in their approach.
Pageau grew suspicious after Amherstburg police posted through social media to be aware of a fake alarm technician going door to door.
That's when she put her guard up.
"I've heard of people coming into your home, and inspecting and then coming back to rob you. I feel that me as a female and even seniors, we're the people who are most at target for these types of frauds," she says.
Although the suspects were not claiming to be from a recognized Windsor company, at Fahrhall Home Comfort, officials say their technicians never approach a home unannounced.
"We would never ever go door knocking door to door. We would actually make appointments with you, you call us, we make an appointment, we go out there and see you that's it," says Fahrhall's Tony O'Beid.
"It's just a gimmick, it's just their way to get in your house to buy equipment, to get you to rent equipment from them, to swindle you," he adds.
