SUMMERSIDE - The city's police service is advising the general public of a telemarketing scam where solicitation is made purportedly in the name of mobility companies.
The scammers offer a free cell phone and say they do not have sufficient information besides the customer’s telephone number.
The caller then asks for the customer’s name, address, date of birth, social insurance number, and credit card numbers.
The public should never provide personal information over the phone. Summerside Police Services advises hanging up and contacting your local police or Phone Busters (the Canadian anti-fraud Call Centre).
