The Canadian Cancer Society is warning about fraudulent phone calls being made using their name.

They say in at least a couple of reported cases, the scam artists have identified themselves as working on behalf of the Society, and have asked for donors to renew their monthly contributions over the phone by providing their banking information.

However, the CCS says it does not ask for bank account information over the phone.

And advises donors to never give out financial details over the phone, unless you initiate the call.
