The non-emergency phone number of the Weyburn Police Service, 306-848-3250, has been compromised by what appears to be an auto-dialing machine scam.

"All the calls came in a short period of time," said Constable Kalin Wiebe, Weyburn Police Service.

"We are just asking that anyone that does receive a call from this number, if someone does start asking some personal or private questions, Obviously, be concerned about your privacy. The best thing to do at that point is politely tell the person on the line that you will phone the police station direct at that number. That way you can confirm whether we made that call or not."

Scam calling is common in Weyburn.
