Fraud Prevention Month
Police continue to receive reports of suspicious phone calls from people purporting to be from the CRA, legal or financial organizations.
Scammers may use threatening language or an aggressive tone to scare you into making payments.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service would like to remind everyone that personal or financial information should never be given over the phone, especially if you didn’t initiate the call.
If you receive a suspicious e-mail, refrain from clicking any links, and delete it immediately.
Also, financial institutions will never ask for payment in the form of gift cards.
