At LDANL, we help people focus on digital literacy to avoid scams online, but scam calls are just as much a problem.

Stay aware & stay safe with your confidential info, whether personal or financial!

is warning of a phone scam involving Motor Registration.

The caller claims to be from Motor Registration, stating a payment was made on the wrong vehicle and requesting credit card information to issue a refund.

Motor Registration will never ask a client for their credit card number to issue a refund. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately and do not provide any personal information.

To report a scam to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, contact your local detachment, or call 1-800-709-7267. To report a scam to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, please call 709-729-8000, or use the online reporting system.
