Insurance Number: Information and Citizen

insurance number: In the scheme, a citizen received a call from someone purporting to be a police officer, speaking English, according to CTV. It is targeting Quebecers all over the province, but particularly in the Monteregie region. The agency warned Quebecers to be wary of suspicious calls. The so-called officer asked the citizen for their name, social insurance number and other personal information, the SQ wrote in a press release on Friday. In some cases, the SQ added, the fraudster would ask for the citizen's bank information, warn them of other potential frauds. If the citizen refused to give their information, the fraudster would threaten arrest. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
