Communities Affected: Ontario | Date: June 25 , 2021 TORONTO , June 25, 2021 /CNW/ - The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has received complaints from consumers about emails that have been made to appear to be from, endorsed by or affiliated with the OEB on how to qualify or apply for government energy rebates related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The emails typically include a link to an "application form" for these rebates that requires the consumer to schedule a home energy assessment. These emails are not from or in any way endorsed by the OEB. The OEB will not email you or call you about energy rebates unless you have reached out to us first. If you receive an email promoting energy rebates, even if it includes the OEB's name or logo, please be careful. Beware in particular of emails that are sent from @energyassistanceprogram and that refer to the "Energy Assistance Program" or the "Assistance Program". That entity is not affiliated with or endorsed by the OEB. Some emails include links to an energyassistanceprogram.org website. This is not an OEB website. We are also aware of emails that are sent from @ontariogreensavings.com that refer to "Ontario Green Savings" and that link to the energyassistanceprogram.org website.
