Police in Prince George continue to investigate the reports received of unknown persons attending residences in the community under the guise of being Northern Health employees.
This was first reported by the health authority back on April 2nd.
Investigators continue to collect information about who may have been posing as Northern Health staff and ask that anyone who was similarly approached by people claiming to be from the health authority or from Fire Smart to contact the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line.
“We are reminding the public not to open their home to anyone they were not expecting or have not previously set up an at-home appointment with. Even if a person attends your home with what appears to be legitimate credentials, it is always a good idea to call that company yourself to double check the information,” stated Cpl. Jennifer Cooper.
If you feel you have been the victim of a fraud, report it to your local police detachment.
In addition, any residents who may have given away personal information, such as banking information, ensure you contact your bank as well as the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre immediately.
