Watch out! Phone scam underway

Jan 9, 2024

The Edmundston Police Force is advising the public that a telephone scam is currently underway. Scammers are posing as telecommunications company representatives. They are making calls to homes offering discounts and promotions on telecommunications packages. 

If you receive such a call, hang up immediately. Avoid sharing your telecommunications company account numbers or any personal information such as your address, e-mail address, date of birth or credit card number. 

The Police Force urges you to be cautious and, above all, to talk to your family and friends to make as many people as possible aware of this type of fraud.
