Police in Kimberley are warning residents of a phone scam making the rounds.
A local resident received a call from the “Fibernetics Corporation,” advising that they were acting on behalf of Telus and could give her 40 to 60 percent off her current rates as she was a loyal Telus customer.
RCMP say the caller provided the resident with his name and employee number, then proceeded to ask for her address, date of birth and photo ID.
Telus confirms that the call was a scam and that their employees would never give an employee number or ask for photo ID over the phone.
Residents are reminded to be very cautious about who you give your information to online or over the phone.
