Fraud
Staff Sgt. Simons reminds members of the public to be wary of attempted fraudulent activity, saying: “I recently received a message on my personal phone stating that the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) had a warrant out for my arrest and that the RCMP were coming to get me.”
“You can imagine my surprise,” he smiles. “But if someone calls and if you think it might be true, whatever you do, don't panic and don't rush. Instead, call FraudBusters and/or talk to someone you know before you respond - if you respond.”
“Chances are, it's not legitimate, but if you rush to respond, you'll make a mistake.”
