Signpost: Alectra scams, Ladybird looking for hay, Waterfront music

Alectra Utilities, which has many Hamilton customers, is calling attention to several new phone, text and letter scams including callers claiming to be Alectra technicians demanding payment upon threat of removing meters and disconnecting power. The text scam promises refunds with a fraudulent Interac e-transfer link. Alectra Utilities does not charge customers for meter exchanges or ask customers to make payment using gift cards or at banking kiosks. The letter scam also threatens disconnecting power and is chiefly affecting business customers.
