HANG-UP ON SCAMMERS
The RCMP is warning you to watch out for some suspicious phone calls.
The Barrington RCMP say these "scams" come in many different forms.
Sgt. Robert Forbes says -- however -- they all rely on the same basic principle.
Someone will call you and try to get as much personal information about you as possible -- such as your social Insurance Number, drivers-license or credit-card information.
The callers usually claim to represent a recognized organization.
Sgt. Forbes says you should report such calls by calling the police or going online to Phonebusters.com.
