4854...1-911-1111-111

This, the Ottawa Police say, is a number used by enterprising crooks to scare you out of your money in the Nation's Capital.

Tony Spears had the story in Sunday's Ottawa Sun.  The number, which is spoofed, comes up on your call display.  The caller tells you that you owe a chunk of coin to the Ottawa 50 and if you don't pay now, as in right now, they will send a paddy wagon to your house and then it is off to jail.

Totally bogus.  If this happens to you in Ottawa or elsewhere get ahold of the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre info@antifraudcentre.ca.
