The City of Steinbach is bringing to the attention of local residents that they have been receiving reports of sales people going door-to-door claiming to be city employees, and in some instances, requesting entry into homes.
The City says that employees rarely require entrance into citizens’ homes. In those instances where entrance is required, employees will have a City vehicle, wear a high visibility (fluorescent coloured) vest, and have a city identification card.
If ever in doubt, the City encourages residents to request the employee’s name, department and purpose of visit and contact City Hall directly at 204-326-9877 for confirmation. The City notes that employees will be happy to wait outside of the home until verification is complete.
The City of Steinbach encourages all residents to use caution whenever a stranger comes to their door.
