Police are reminding you to be careful when giving out information over the phone.
This is the message from Renfrew OPP after an elderly man received a call from a scammer last week. Police say the scammer told the man he was a lawyer and that his grandchild had been involved in a car crash before asking the victim transfer money to them.
Police say if a caller insists on privacy and tells you not to talk about it, they could very well be a scammer. Residents are urged to call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 if they believe they’ve come across a scam.
