Friday, the Assiniboia RCMP received over 15 calls regarding the same telephone scam.  

The scammers claimed to be from the Canadian Revenue Agency.   

A warrant has been issued for their arrest due to the unusual activity regarding their Social Insurance Numbers. 

The scammers asked the complainants to provide their Social Insurance Number and other personal information. 

The Assiniboia RCMP reminds the public to never give out personal information over the phone, email or internet and that, unfortunately, this scam is all too common. 

Government agencies and banking institutions will never call to ask for personal information. 

If you are uncertain whether you are speaking to a scammer, do not be afraid to hang up and contact your local police station.
