Impersonation Scam

Today I had an appointment at ICA for my PR application confirmation. Within 15 mins of completing my appointment with ICA, I received a call from someone who attempted to impersonate as ICA officer. Surprisingly, this scammer knew my name and that I’ve just had an appointment with ICA.. He addressed me by my name and asked me to meet him privately near ICA to discuss some urgent matters. The person said that this call was about my impending deportation. I knew this was a scam call and hung up immediately.

Please beware of unknown calls even if they call you by name and do not divulge your personal information at the first instance.
