The City of Richmond is warning residents about a scam in which people are impersonating city workers and trying to gain entry to homes. On Friday, the city posted about the issue on their Facebook page, saying they had received reports of "individuals in work gear impersonating City of Richmond employees and knocking on doors requesting access to residences." Richmond RCMP say they received a report of a couple of suspicious men wearing reflective clothing in the 5500 block of Cornwall Drive on Wednesday. Also, workers always carry photo ID and drive city branded and numbered work vehicles. If in doubt, the city says to call their works yard at 604-270-8721 or the Richmond RCMP.
