Thompson RCMP are warning residents of a phone scam.

Special Constable Robert Cleveland tells us more:

"Recently we’ve received several phone calls at the Thompson RCMP detachment, myself personally, from an individual claiming he is an officer with Revenue Canada and he is seeking your personal information, especially wanting your social insurance number".

Cleveland says the caller makes threats that if you don’t return his call immediately, there will be consequences.

He urges residents to not give out personal information, and to report any suspicious calls to Thompson RCMP of Phone Busters.
