Police warn of door-to-door scam in the Glovertown area.

The RCMP is warning the public about a door-to-door scam in the Glovertown area.

Police say a resident was approached by someone impersonating a telecommunications employee. An individual who knocked on a door in the Glovertown area claimed to be an employee of Eastlink. They verified their affiliation with the company by providing personal information they obtained by accessing the resident’s telephone bills, and attempted to convince the victim to provide money, information or further access to their accounts.

The company confirmed that there were no representatives going door to door in the area.

Seniors may be at increased risk for this type of scam. Taking the time to verify the person or business allows you to confirm the legitimacy of their request or claims and avoid falling victim to scams like this one.
