Saskatoon Police are advising the public of a spoofing scam involving the SPS non-emergency number.

Earlier today, the SPS Communications Unit received several reports regarding suspicious phone calls. Complainants indicated the calls appeared to originate from the SPS non-emergency number, with the caller identifying themselves as an SPS officer and requesting information related to a police file. In most instances, recipients recognized the call as suspicious and terminated the conversation. At this time, no incidents of fraud have been reported to SPS, and the calls appear to be directed to out-of-province communities, specifically in Alberta and British Columbia.

SPS reminds the public to be cautious when receiving unsolicited calls requesting personal information. Police will never ask individuals to provide personal or financial details over the phone.
