The victim sent $4,100 through e-transfers before realizing they had fallen for the scam.
NORFOLK COUNTY - Norfolk OPP are investigating a fraud complaint that cost the victim over $4,000.
How the fraud works is the person got a call from someone claiming they were going to be arrested after being involved in a money laundering scheme. The victim sent $4,100 through e-transfers before realizing they had fallen for the scam.
The OPP is urging all residents to hang up the phone if they receive a call from someone claiming that they are a police officer and are asking for any personal information or requesting funds in order to avoid being arrested.
Police Services will NOT call and inquire about any personal/financial information or ask for your Social Insurance Number. If you or someone you know suspect they've been a victim of a fraud, contact your local police service. You can also file a complaint through the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
