Scam targets Free Press subscribers
THE Free Press is reminding the public that its subscription canvassers are always clearly identified as working for the newspaper.
The reminder comes in the wake of reports of a scam artist who has been telling residents in the Southdale area he would be handling Free Press delivery in the area, and asking them to pay him directly on a monthly basis.
The Free Press does have canvassers in the Southdale area, but all wear badges with Free Press ID and their names. Customers are asked to make their payments to the Free Press, never to individuals.
If you have any questions about canvassers in your neighbourhood, please contact leslye.fisher@winnipegfreepress.com.
