If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is!

**** Via Truro Police If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is! The busy holiday season is upon us and scammers are looking to take advantage of people this time of year. The Truro Police Service has noticed an increase in phone scams trying to catch people off guard. Phone scams are deceptive schemes where scammers use phone calls to trick individuals into giving away personal information or money. Scammers often pretend to be from banks, delivery companies, or government offices. They might send you links or ask you to call back. Don’t click on suspicious links or hang up the phone if something doesn’t feel right. Smart tip: If unsure, call the real organization using a number you find yourself (never the one they give you). Be aware and stay vigilant!
