Police are continuing to get reports of the Canada Border Services Scam.  Here are some tips on how to avoid falling victim to a scam:

No information should ever be given to a person over the phone until you are satisfied they are who they say they are. Look up the phone number to the police agency/government agency they say they are calling from and confirm it by calling there yourself.

A real police officer would not ask to have money sent on behalf of your relative/friend.

Ask for help from a member of your family or a trustworthy friend if you are unsure about a call or request received requiring payment.

Verify identities or whereabouts of the caller.

Don’t feel pressured and do not send money before doing your own investigation.

Don’t disclose personal financial information.

If you have any information about these crimes or any other crimes, please contact the RCMP Office or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
