Scammers are tricking people by pretending to be police or banks, urging caution and verification.

Scammers are impersonating police and financial institutions to trick victims into providing personal information or transferring funds. They often use spoofed numbers, like the Ontario Provincial Police's non-emergency line, to appear legitimate. The OPP advises not trusting caller ID, verifying suspicious calls directly with the bank, and not sharing personal details or clicking on unsolicited links. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre can be contacted at 1-888-495-8501 for more information.
