Thompson RCMP are warning the public about a phone scam currently making the rounds.

The caller claims to be from Revenue Canada, and requests payment while threatening to contact the RCMP and have you arrested should you not comply within 45 minutes.

Contsable Sandy Deibert, from the Thompson RCMP detachment, says that this is a scam and that you should not provide the caller with any personal or banking information.

Constable Deibert added that Revenue Canada will never contact you by telephone.

If feel you have received a suspicious call, you can contact the RCMP at 204-677-6909.
