The RCMP in Grand Falls-Windsor have warned the public of an ongoing phone scam.

People have reported receiving phone calls, during which the caller states they're a representative of the Canada Revenue Agency.

The caller then says the person on the other end of the line owes money in back taxes, and asks for credit card information or for cash to be forwarded in the mail.

Police said the CRA does not conduct business in this manner.

They are reminding the public not to give out any personal or financial information over the phone.
