The Government of Manitoba is warning Manitobans about a possible phone scam seeking a person’s health card information.
Manitoba Health, Seniors and Active Living issued a warning, saying that one person has made a complaint to the department about the scam.
The complainant said that they received a call from an automated service claiming there was an issue with the person’s health card and requested personal information.
A spokesperson for the province said the government has only received the one complaint but is urging Manitobans to be cautious.
Manitoba Health does not use automated calls to contact people about their health cards.
Anyone who receives one of these calls is asked to report it to the police.
