Fraud alert: People are attending residences in Prince George claiming to be staff from Northern Health and Fire Smart.
Prince George RCMP got the first report of this fraud specifically about those posing as Northern Health staff on April 2, 2024.
Investigators continue to collect information to identify the culprits and are asking the public to contact the non-emergency line to speak with an officer about their experience at 250-561-3300.
“We are reminding the public not to open their home to anyone they were not expecting or have not previously set up an at-home appointment with,” Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP, said.
“Even if a person attends your home with what appears to be legitimate credentials, it is always a good idea to call that company yourself to double check the information.”
If you found yourself in this circumstance and have given away personal information, such as banking information, ensure you contact your bank as well as the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre immediately.
