Hanna RCMP are warning residents of a potential credit card scam which targets specific businesses.
RCMP say the scammer will contact a business, usually through email, requesting services specific to the business they are targeting. The scammer will provide stolen credit card information to pay for the services, but they will insists on giving more money than the agreed upon price. The business, if they agree to take the extra money, is then instructed to send the extra money to a third party towing company or shipping company. But neither company actually exists and the transaction is merely to convert the stolen credit card into cash.
While Hanna RCMP say these calls have been received in their area, no one yet has fallen for it.
Police want to remind people to report all suspicious activity as it is happening.They say more information about scams can be found online at the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre, http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/index-eng.htm.
It’s that time of year again to pin on your poppy, as the Drumheller Legion started the local poppy drive on Friday, October 25. Deputy Mayor Krystine De Mott had the honour of being the first to receive a poppy, from drive chair Jim Stroud. The poppies are now available for purchase from many retailers in town, with the money going to support services for veterans and their families.
