Scam and theft attempts have been reported in Plaisance-du-Touch. Individuals are approaching residents' homes claiming to be agents from Grand Ouest Toulousain, aiming to collect money for replacing waste collection bins, asking for a payment of €50.
These individuals may insist on entering homes or take advantage of a moment of inattention to steal objects or money. The Grand Ouest Toulousain services remind the public that they never request cash payments at home for bin replacements.
It is advised not to let strangers into your home without verifying their identity, to refuse any suspicious payment, and to contact the relevant services if in doubt. In case of attempted intrusion, theft, or threatening behavior, dial 17.
A calendar distribution campaign by agents identifiable by their Grand Ouest Toulousain branded parkas is also underway. If you are unsure about the identity of someone at your door, do not let them in and contact Grand Ouest Toulousain for verification.
For any inquiries, the Direction de la Prévention et de la valorisation des déchets du Grand Ouest Toulousain can be reached at 05 34 55 46 10. The City of Plaisance-du-Touch urges vigilance and encourages residents to share this information, especially with their most vulnerable loved ones.
