Parkland County, Alta. –  On Nov. 5, 2026, Parkland RCMP has received multiple calls reporting of fraudsters “spoofing” call ID information to display either “Parkland RCMP” or the Parkland RCMP 24-hour complaint line. Using technology, scammers can make it appear as though calls are coming directly from Parkland RCMP. 

Parkland RCMP is advising anyone who receives these calls to stay vigilant and not 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 have information about this or any other crime, contact the Parkland RCMP non-emergency line at 825-220-7267.
