Prince George RCMP investigating local scam

Apr 17, 2024 | 8:55 AM

PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George RCMP is investigating reports of unknown people attending residences in the community under the guise of being Northern Health employees, first reported by Northern Health on April 2.

“Investigating continue to collect information about who may have been posing as Northern Health staff and ask that anyone who was similarly approached by people claiming to be Northern Health or from Fire Smart please contact the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line to speak with a police officer,” says Cpl. Jennifer Cooper.

Cooper also urges the people not to open their home to anyone they were not expecting.

“Even if a person attends your home with what appears to be legitimate credentials, it is always a good idea to call that company yourself to double check the information.”

If you feel you have been the victim of fraud, report it to your local police detachment. If you have given away personal information, such as banking information, ensure you contact your bank as well as the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre immediately.
