LPS offers pro-active advice to avoid COVID-19 scams
LETHBRIDGE, AB. — Although city Police haven’t received many complaints relating to COVID-19 scams, they want to ensure the public is aware of the possibilities.
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre advises that common COVID-19 scams involve fraudsters posing as:
— Cleaning or heating companies, which offer duct cleaning services or air filters to protect from COVID-19
— Local and provincial hydro/electrical power companies that threaten to disconnect your power for non-payment
