Beware of
fradulent
phone calls
Residents in a number of areas of
the province recently have been
subjected to misleading or fraudu-
lent telephone solicitations and the
Ontario Provincial Police would
like to alert citizens to the common
elements of many of these schemes.
Typically, these telephone solici-
tors advise people that they have
won a prize, or have the opportuni-
ty to do so. Usually, there is some
purchase to be made before the
prize is collected.
The caller then suggests that pay-
ment for the product or service
being purchased be made by credit
card and asks for a credit card num-
ber. Once the number is given, the
customer is immediately charged
the agreed-upon amount.
"The majority of these types of
telephone solicitations are designed
to mislead potential customers —
to make them believe they're going
to get something at a much better
price than anywhere else," says
Inspector Ken Christopherson of
the OPP's anti -rackets branch.
"The value or nature of the prize,
or the requirements for claiming it,
may be misrepresented," says Mr.
Christopherson. "What you think
you heard and what was actually
said may be two different things.
But even if what you heard was
exactly what was said, it's difficult
to prove misrepresentation."
A customer's first indication of a
problem may be his or her credit
card statement. Persons who
believe they've purchased a bargain
holiday from a so-called "travel
agent" for example, may find their
credit card statement indicates the
money went to a restaurant, car
rental agency or some other busi-
ness.
This is probably because the tele-
phone solicitor has no arrangement
with a credit card company and is
using an imprinting machine
belonging to some other business to
process orders.
"By the time you get your credit
statement and realize something is
wrong, it's too late, Mr. Christo-
pherson adds. "The money is
gorse."
