RCMP Scam Calls - Social Insurance Number (SIN)

The public is asked to beware of RCMP phone scam calls. The phone calls involve someone calling from 1-800 numbers, local numbers, and the RCMP toll-free number (1-800-803-7267) and saying that there are issues with the individual's Social Insurance Number (SIN). The caller then says the person will be arrested if their personal information is not provided. The callers of these scams say they are calling from a specific federal agency and request the individual's name, date of birth, and SIN.
