Provincial Police are warning area residents of an apparent scam that's found its way into the Rainy River district.
Constable Anne McCoy says they were alerted of the scam by a resident who indicated he'd received a call from someone claiming to work for RBC.
"The male that was calling began to ask people about their birthday," says McCoy, "other personal information including their account numbers. We're reminding the public to please not give out any information over the phone. Go right into the banking institution to give that type of information."
McCoy says the resident receiving call altered both the bank and police.
