Another telephone scam targeting seniors

The public is being advised about another scam making the rounds that targets seniors and their families.

The caller claims to be calling on behalf of Premier Tony Wakeham and asks the recipient to share their banking information in order to receive a senior’s bonus.

The Provincial Government or Premier Wakeham’s office would never request personal banking information in exchange for money.

If a person receives such a call, they are asked to immediately hang up on the caller without providing any personal information.

To report a scam, contact the RCMP or RNC. Reports can also be sent to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
