WARNING!!!

21/5/2013

 

ALERT! TO ALL CADETS AND PARENTS!

The National Air Cadet League office is alerting all Cadet members and organizations about inappropriate phone calls that are occurring in Ontario. A Lt Rory Jones (who doesn't exist) is contacting cadets directly on their cell phones and inviting them to a camp in Ottawa (that doesn't exist).

The calls are made to appear as if they originate from the National office (1-877-422-6359) and occur after regular office hours. Should you receive a call, please disregard and contact the OPC office to notify us of the call if you can.

Thanks for your alertness and assistance.
