Police in Ontario are warning the public about nearly a dozen common scams being run amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Scammers impersonating the Public Health Agency of Canada to glean personal information and credit card numbers. In another scam, people are told they've tested positive for COVID-19 and are urged to provide their health and credit card numbers to fill a prescription. The CAFC has been warning Canadians for weeks to stop and think before sharing any personal information over the phone or online. Real public health officials will not ask for your credit card information.
