Scam Alert
Peterborough Police are warning the community after receiving a number of calls to 9-1-1 that were scam calls.
A male phones the victim identifying themselves as PC Robert Lawrence badge 555140 from 51 Division Major Fraud department with Toronto Police and that the person’s credit card has been cloned and police have someone under arrest. The scammer then instructs the person to call 911 to verify their identity and get a record check.
