If you get a call about the city conducting carbon monoxide testing, it's a scam

Residents are advised that the City of Greater Sudbury and Greater Sudbury Fire Services are not conducting carbon monoxide or smoke alarm testing.

A call centre identifying itself as Carbon Monoxide of Canada has been contacting residents by telephone with the message that the City of Greater Sudbury requires entry to their homes for smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detector testing.

This message is false. Greater Sudbury Fire Services does not contact residents by telephone to request entry to private homes for carbon monoxide or smoke alarm testing and is not affiliated with Carbon Monoxide of Canada.

Residents may report telephone scams to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or www.antifraudcentre.ca.
