Enoch, Alta. –  On Nov. 3, 2026, Enoch RCMP received multiple reports of fraudsters “spoofing” call ID information to display either “Enoch RCMP” or the Enoch RCMP 24-hour complaint line. Using technology, scammers can make it appear as though calls are coming directly from Enoch RCMP. 

In one reported case, the caller played an automated message stating: “Someone has been apprehended and arrested with your critical information with them. Please press #1 to speak to an officer.” 

Enoch RCMP is advising anyone who receives these calls that the Enoch RCMP complaint line does not use automated phone messages. The public is urged not to provide personal information without first verifying the caller’s identity.  

Protect yourself from fraudulent activity: 

• Never share personal details such as your name, address, date of birth, or passwords. 
• Be suspicious of any caller demanding immediate payment, requesting banking information, or instructing you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
• Verify before you act. If you are unsure about a message, email or phone call, speak with a family member or someone you trust. 
• Visit an organization’s official website and use a confirmed phone number to verify the information before taking any action. 

If you suspect you have received a scam call, contact Enoch RCMP at 780-470-3139. This line does not use automated messages. If your call goes unanswered, please leave a voicemail.
