Valley residents complain of attempted online and telephone fraud
The Killaloe Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police continues to receive various types of complaints regarding telephone and on-line frauds.
Police would like to remind the public that unexpected requests for money transfers or banking information should be treated with caution. Anyone receiving such a request should take steps to verify the identity of the person making the request.
Caution should be used when receiving unsolicited requests from a person claiming to be calling or messaging from a government agency or financial institution. The authenticity of the caller/messenger can be verified by contacting the government agency or financial institution yourself by using contact information you have obtained from a reliable source.
If the call you receive is from a person claiming to be a family member in need of money, you should call back on a contact number you previously had for the person or obtain contact information from another trusted family member.
Resist the urge to act quickly. Remember you can always hang up and verify the information.
If you believe you have been the victim of a fraud or would be interested in information on safeguarding yourself, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-(888)-495-8501 or by visiting www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.
