Durham Regional Police Service warns the public about an increase in scams centering on the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Social Insurance Numbers (SIN). The Communications Unit is seeing an increase in calls from residents reporting having received calls from a person claiming to be an officer from the CRA. The scammers are also asking for SIN numbers under the pretense they were compromised. In a new twist, scammers are using the DRPS non-emergency phone number, 905-579-1520, to appear legitimate. Scammers often negotiate payment and suggest a lesser amount collected by way of a third party card, gift card, credit card, pre-paid gift card or deposits into a Bitcoin ATM, installed at several locations across Durham Region. Police warn the public to be wary of these types of scams. Police or the CRA will never request payments by prepaid credit cards or leave personal information on an answering machine. It's important to never give out your SIN number. How to protect yourself from fraud: Caller ID is a useful function. However, criminals can alter the displayed information. Don't rely strictly on the displayed information to confirm the identity of the caller whether it be an individual, a company or a government entity. Never provide personal information through the Internet or by email. The CRA does not ask you to provide personal information by email. Keep your access codes, user ID, passwords, and PINs secret. These warnings should be discussed with seniors or other vulnerable people who do not have access to this information via the internet. For more information or to report a scam attempt, visit the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at: www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude. ca or call 1-888-495-8501. Anyone wishing to report a fraud in Durham Region is asked to contact Durham Regional Police at 1-888- 579-1520. Beware of CRA and SIN Scammers
