Okotoks RCMP have seen an influx in reports of a Canada Revenue Agency Phone Scam.

Individuals are posing as the CRA and calling residents telling them they owe the agency money and can pay with Google cards or a form of alternate gift card.

The RCMP are reminding residents these are not actual calls from the CRA and should be reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/ or by calling 1-888-495-8501.

When receiving an unsolicited call, personal information should not be given out over the phone like full name, date of birth, social insurance number, banking information, passwords, and home address.
