(Madoc, ON) – Central Hastings O.P.P. would like to make the public aware of a telemarketing scam that is circulating where an automated message says they have won Air Miles. If the recipient follows the instructions of the message to claim the reward miles, they are solicited for personal information including credit card information.
If anyone receives a call of this nature they should simply hang up the phone. Air Miles does not use automated messaging to contact their collectors.
