Locals beware of a scam making its rounds in our Bordertown. This time you'll recieve a call from a man or women claiming to with Bell Aliant offering you a promotion. The caller will identify himself or herself as a employee of Bell Mobility and even give you an employee number and a return contact number. The caller will offer you a deal on a LG Rumour phone and all you have to do is give your Social Insurance Number or the last 4 digits of a major Credit Card.
Tide News Spoke Public Affairs Manager with Bell Alliant Allison Queen and she tell us that this is not an Aliant campaign. Queen reminds everyone they will never ask anyone for thier persoal over the phone and if you recieve a call that your not sure about call Bell or your local authorities.
Local RCMP would like to remind the public to be extremely cautious if a caller asks you for personal information over the phone, do not give it. If the caller says act now, they’re doing you a favour, refuse immediately, you are not obligated. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
