FRAUD ALLERT: Alberta Consumer Contact Centre has received a complaint that someone saying they are with "Phillips Lifeline" is canvasing door to door in areas of Alberta selling an emergency pager for ambulance service to seniors in case of an accident in the home and they are unable to get to a phone. They are asking for payment by credit card as well as your Health Care Number so you can be "reimbursed" from AHC. DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION OUT to anyone knocking at your door or on the phone!! Phillips Lifeline does not canvas door to door. If you have any concerns about anyone canvasing at your door, please call the RCMP at 403-794-4400.
