Watch out for the latest phone scam in the Shuswap.
Gerald Murray of Tappen says he's been getting several phone calls from an automate system that tells you that you've won a trip somewhere and all you have to do is dial 9 for more info. He says you can probably expect a huge phone bill if you do that. He says all police can do is caution you not to respond to these types of calls.Bob Crouse Standard Radio News

Telus says dial 9 does not affect residential customers. Businesses with telephone switchboards are the ones that are affected. Check out: TELUS

Just 10 minutes before I read this on your site, I was offered a carribean cruise, just press 9 to claim your prize. But I pressed "hangup" instead. I have a 545 prefix number, so they are working the area.
