OPP WARNS PUBLIC OF ONGOING PHONE SCAM

(SUDBURY, ON) – The Nipissing West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is warning the public about a phone scam where individuals are falsely claiming to be OPP officers.

Scammers are calling residents repeatedly, identifying themselves as police officers, and requesting personal information or sensitive details under the pretense of assisting with a police matter.

Police have also learned that fraudsters are using spoofing technology to make calls appear as though they are coming from the legitimate Sudbury OPP number, 705-564-6900, to make the calls appear more credible.

The OPP reminds the public that police will not request sensitive personal or financial information over the phone. These calls are fraudulent.

If you receive one of these calls:
• Hang up immediately
• Do not provide personal or financial information
• Do not rely solely on caller ID, as phone numbers can be spoofed
• Verify the caller by contacting your local detachment directly using a publicly listed number
• Report the incident to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or at antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Nipissing West OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). ^rl

MISE EN GARDE DE L'OPP CONCERNANT UNE FRAUDE TÉLÉPHONIQUE EN COURS

(SUDBURY, ON) – Le détachement de Nipissing Ouest de la Police provinciale de l'Ontario (OPP) met le public en garde contre une fraude téléphonique où des individus se font passer pour des agents de l'OPP.

Des fraudeurs appellent des résidents à répétition en se présentant comme des policiers et en leur demandant des renseignements personnels ou confidentiels, sous prétexte de les aider dans le cadre d'une enquête policière.

La police a également appris que des fraudeurs manipulent l'afficheur pour faire croire que les appels proviennent du numéro légitime de l'OPP de Sudbury, soit le 705-564-6900, afin de paraître plus crédibles.

L'OPP rappelle au public que les policiers ne demanderont pas de renseignements personnels ou financiers sensibles par téléphone. Ces appels sont frauduleux.

Si vous recevez un tel appel :
• Raccrochez immédiatement
• Ne fournissez pas de renseignements personnels ou financiers
• Ne vous fiez pas uniquement à l'afficheur, puisque les numéros de téléphone peuvent être manipulés
• Vérifiez l'identité de l'appelant en communiquant directement avec votre détachement local en utilisant un numéro de téléphone officiel
• Signalez l'incident au Centre antifraude du Canada au 1-888-495-8501 ou en ligne à antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca

Toute personne ayant des renseignements concernant ces incidents est priée de communiquer avec l'OPP de Nipissing Ouest au 1-888-310-1122 ou avec Échec au crime de façon anonyme au 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). ^md
