A warning about phone calls from scammers claiming to be Pinnacle or other DIO contractors⬇️
Pinnacle Service Families@PinnacleSF
We’ve seen recent reports across social media of scam callers impersonating Pinnacle and other @mod_dio contractors. These callers are asking for personal details such as your address, property type or home‑ownership status - and some become aggressive when challenged. Given the potential risk, we’re issuing a reminder to all families to stay alert and always verify a caller’s identity. If you receive an unexpected call claiming to be from Pinnacle or a DIO contractor: ✅ Do not share personal information ✅ Ask for the caller’s name and team ✅ Check for appointment confirmations or official contact numbers ✅ Genuine staff will always carry ID badges when attending your property These reports have been shared with the relevant teams, including the Royal Military Police, and awareness is being raised across partner organisations. Please feel free to share this message within your local community to help keep everyone informed and safe. #ServiceFamilies #MilitaryHomes #ScamAwareness #CommunitySupport
