Scam Sense

Although there is a long list of different scams that target Edmontonians every day, there are commonalities between the scams. Remember: scammers prey on emotions, whether that’s fear, love, panic, or guilt. Take a step back from what they are telling you and think about the legitimacy of the situation. Pick up the phone and talk to someone you trust; family, friends, or us (780-423-4567).
