Be wary of cell phone scams: Cariboo senior
A Williams Lake senior will be very careful about accepting parcels after she received two brand new cell phones she had not ordered.
An email arrived from a courier company with a packing slip that was already paid for. She needed to print it off and take the parcel to the courier service. He kept asking if she’d sent the phones yet, threatened if she did not send them off she would be charged.That was until she received a text message from Telus – which she normally does for her bill – but this time, instead of the normal amount of $29 the amount was more than $600.
