The RNC has issued a warning of a cross-Canada telephone scam impersonating officers in Labrador West. The RNC have received a number of reports from people outside of the province getting calls that display a detachment phone number. Police say the scammer claims someone is in custody and then tries to get information. RNC say if you do get such a call, hang up and contact police. Meanwhile, last week Bay St. George issued a similar warning from scammers claiming to be with the Stephenville detachment and call displays included their main line.
