St. Albert RCMP want to inform the community of a possible identity theft scam that has been circulating around the city.
Unknown person(s) are distributing a pamphlet/flyer into citizens’ mailboxes asking junior high and high school students if they are interested in working for the "IISS" (International Intelligence Secret Service) within Canada and/or internationally. The young people are asked to send a printed copy of their driver's licence, resume, name and contact information to an email address if they are interested in working for the organization.
St. Albert RCMP have not been able to confirm if the organization is legitimate and want to remind citizens to never send personal information/identification to anyone over the Internet or otherwise.
