Fraud warning
Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: The Chatham-Kent Police would like to warn everyone about a scam that resulted in a local woman being defrauded of $8,000.
Last week, the woman received a telephone call from a man purporting to be a lawyer and another man posing as the woman’s son-in-law, who apparently had just been arrested.
At this time, the pair requested $8,000 cash for his bond.
The woman attended her bank, withdrew the money and turned over the cash to an ‘appointed officer’ who attended her home in a black Ford F-150.
This transaction occurred before the woman confirmed the story with family members as the fraudsters told her not to speak to anyone as there was a ‘gag order’ in effect due to the severity of the incident.
The key to protecting yourself from a fraud or scam is to first of all – recognize it.
Remember that scammers use intimidation tactics and want to pressure you into providing information and making decisions quickly.
If you get a suspicious call, don’t panic.
Take the time to do your research before taking any action.
