Fraudsters Spoof Surrey Police Phone Number, SPS Warns
The Surrey Police Service (SPS) is warning residents about fraudsters spoofing its non-emergency number, 604-599-0502. Scammers are posing as officers, sometimes using fake names and badge numbers, to trick people into giving personal or financial information. SPS stresses it will never call to request money or sensitive details. Residents are urged to hang up, avoid clicking on links, and verify suspicious calls by dialing the official non-emergency line directly. Authorities also encourage reporting such scams to police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
