Calgary and Edmonton police are getting a lot of complaints from subscribers who have received "COLLECT" calls from individuals who are inserting the words "POLICE EMERGENCY" in the long distance prompt.
This is generally not a collect call but is usually a Bill to Third Party call that is going to Lebanon or Pakistan.
Due to the nature of the Telco networks tracking down these individuals is difficult and time consuming. Typically, the calls end up being traced back to prison phones or out of country pay phones.
The solution is to either NOT accept the charges from the unknown callers or choose operator assistance.
