RCMP Central Region Thunder Bay detachment is advising that their phone number, 807-623-2791, has been spoofed and is being used unlawfully to intimidate and defraud victims.

Spoofing is when a scammer uses a device to mask their real phone number and display a different number that does not actually belong to the caller.

Be aware that government agencies, including police:

Please also be aware that the RCMP in Ontario is not the police of jurisdiction. In Ontario, the RCMP enforces federal laws, including national security, border integrity, transnational, serious and organized crime and financial crimes such as cybercrime, money laundering and counterfeiting.

If you suspect that you are being scammed, hang up. If you have been a victim of a scam, please report it to your local police. You can also report any scams to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

Stay informed about the latest scams.

Protect yourself from spoofing

With questions or concerns about whether an RCMP police officer from Thunder Bay has or is trying to contact you, call the RCMP Thunder Bay Detachment directly, Monday-Friday, 8 am-4 pm, 807-623-2791.
