The OPP is reminding residents that telephone and e-mail continue to be great tools for scammers to take hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Seniors continue to be an easy target as they are often too nice and hesitant to say no. In many cases scammers claim to be a grandchild, a friend of the family or a former neighbour and say that they don’t want other relatives to know. Police advise that you first check with another family member or trusted friend to verify before providing money. Make sure to report any incidents like this, so police can investigate.
