With March designated as Fraud Prevention month, police are taking the opportunity to remind the public of ongoing scans.

Windsor police say now that tax season is here, people should be aware of the Canada Revenue Agency phone scam. In that case, someone calls saying they are with the CRA and that money is owed to the agency.
