If you have a phone, you’ve almost certainly been targeted by a scammer trying to get you to pay a non-existent fine. We get these calls on our work phones too! They are especially worrisome when the scammers target new Canadians and vulnerable senior citizens are especially worrisome. ... Everyone should be vigilant when they receive a phone call claiming to be from the Canadian Revenue Agency, the Canada Boarder Services Agency, another government agency or financial institution stating: You owe back taxes You have unpaid balances You committed a financial crime You have a warrant for your arrest Scammers typically request payment via money services businesses, pre-paid cards/gift cards (iTunes, Google Play or Steam cards) or Bitcoin. They insist that if you do not pay immediately, you'll be arrested, fined or even deported. The above-mentioned agencies and legitimate companies will never demand immediate payment by Interac, e-transfer, Bitcoin, pre-paid credit cards or gift cards from retailers such as iTunes, Amazon or others. Legitimate companies and agencies will never threaten you with arrest or a prison sentence. If you receive a such a phone call; never give out any personal information (full name, birthdate, social insurance number and or bank information) simply, HANG-UP.

Delivery package thefts often increase between the months of November through January. The Property Crime Unit has certainly noticed an increase in these reports. Some package thieves follow delivery trucks and then take the packages after the delivery is made. Others are crimes of opportunity, when thieves see packages in plain view of the street. STEPS THAT YOU CAN TAKE TO REDUCE YOUR RISK:... Arrange to ship the package to another location for someone else to receive. This can be a friend, relative, trusted neighborhood or landlord/apartment leasing office. Choose a shipping option that requires you to sign for delivery. Sign up for delivery alerts on your phone. The easiest way to avoid package theft is simply not to have packages left on your porch or front steps in the first place. Having it delivered to an alternate location like a safe pick-up location within Winnipeg. Research your service provider to see if they offer any alternate or safe pick-up locations around the city. To avoid possible thefts altogether, you can shop local and choose the curbside pick-up option! We all have a role to play in Crime Prevention. TakeAction www.winnipeg.ca/crimeprevention
