Phone Fraud Scam in Richmond
4 July 2025
The Richmond Fire Department has been made aware of a phone scam currently targeting residents in our community. Scammers are falsely claiming to represent the Richmond Fire Department and soliciting donations over the phone.
We want to make it clear: The Richmond Fire-Rescue will never request donations or financial contributions over the phone. Any such calls are fraudulent and should not be trusted.
If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, Richmond residents can call the RCMP non-emergency line at 604-278-1212.
Your safety and security are always our top priorities. Thank you for helping us spread awareness about this scam and for your continued support of the Richmond Fire-Rescue.
