Surrey Police Service (SPS) is warning the public that our non-emergency number, (604) 599-0502, is currently being spoofed by fraudsters to contact people with the objective of obtaining their personal information. Incoming calls appear to be from SPS’s number. If a person answers, the caller may even fabricate an officer’s name and badge number to attempt to gain trust. These calls are not legitimate. 

We advise the public of the following:

1. Do not provide personal information over the phone.
2. Do not send money or respond to any links sent by the caller.
3. End the call as quickly as possible.
4. Verify the credentials of the caller by calling our non-emergency number (604) 599-0502 to provide details about the call.
