Please be advised that we have recently been notified of a telephone scam claiming to be from CBDC Collections. As you know, CBDCs are community-based niche le...nders, and we do not have a collections department. If you get a suspicious call, hang up right away and contact your local police to report it. You may also contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre through their website at www.antifraudcentre.ca, or by telephone at 1-888-495-8501. For more information about what to do if you or someone you know has been the victim of a scam, go to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police website. See more
