WestJet is warning the public about an old scam that’s making the rounds. People are getting calls from who they think is the airline saying they have won a trip and ask for credit card information. Spokesperson Robert Palmer says its not them calling.
“We don’t make these sorts of phone calls, we don’t use telemarketers,” says Palmer, “number two it is very important you do not give out any credit card information to anyone they don’t know or don’t trust.”
Palmer says to hang up and report the call to the Anti-Fraud Centre. He says this is an old scam that uses many different companies names and WestJet is the somewhat lucky winner in this case.
