Statistics Canada phone scam
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - If you get a call from someone claiming to be from Statistics Canada, don't give them any personal financial information.

The real Stats Can says callers claiming to be employees have been demanding personal information from people including social insurance numbers, credit card numbers, or banking information.

In some cases the callers talk about a StatsCan survey, and in others they refer to the Census of Canada.

If you get one of these calls, you're supposed to call Statistics Canada – and if you've given someone your personal information, call the police.

Statistics Canada is asking anyone who receives such a call to contact them at 1-800-263-1136 or at infostats@statcan.gc.ca.

I got these like 2 years ago. I knew it was a scam, so I told her to leave her number and I'll call back (sounds like JB). She actually gave it to me. Should've posted that on Revscene for you guys.

Honestly, if someone asks you for your SIN number or bank info over the phone and you give it to them you deserve everything you get.
