Toronto police have reported multiple incidents of an ongoing phone scam where individuals impersonate police officers to extract personal information under false pretenses of fraudulent activity.
The impersonators call from numbers that appear legitimate, even using the actual 33 Division caller ID, which misleads victims into thinking they are speaking with real officers.
To protect themselves, callers should request the scammer's name and badge number and then directly contact the police department to verify the authenticity of the call.
The police's advice underscores the importance of vigilance against such scams, reminding the public to trust but verify whenever they receive unexpected calls claiming authority.
