Phone fraud attempts continue
Oak Bay police continue to receive calls from concerned residents about attempted telephone fraud.
Police urge people to resist demands for personal information, regardless of the pressure or intimidation of the caller. If you think the call may be illegitimate, hang up immediately. Legitimate organizations will never ask for private details such as your date of birth or social insurance number over the phone.
If the caller demands your credit card number, call your bank after you hang up to seek their advice.
