Bomb threats emailed to at least 15 businesses in Calgary — similar to threats made across North America on Thursday — are part of a phishing scam and not considered credible, police say. The first call came into Calgary's 911 about 11:30 a.m. from a business saying they received an emailed threat. A total of 15 calls were made to 911, but police believe several more emails were received. Calgary police worked with law enforcement agencies from across North America to determine the emails were fake, said Insp. "But in terms of establishing that it's a phishing scam, [it] was the volume and the number of individuals across North America that have received this same email."
