“If you are ever suspicious of someone claiming to be from a legitimate company or organization, do not provide any personal information to them,” Cpl. Mohr said. “Instead, ask for their name, look up the organization online, and contact them through a publicly listed number.  Never provide your bank or credit card PIN numbers to anyone.”

In the incident preceding this most recent fraud case, a senior in Mission told police he was recently scammed out of tens of thousands of dollars after being contacted by someone claiming to be from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an agency in the U.S.

Mission RCMP Corporal Harrison Mohr said police were advised by a 71-year-old man in Mission claiming that he had lost $36,000 due to a scam. Corporal Mohr said the senior received phone calls and emails from someone claiming to be from the FBI, advising him that he would receive various gifts, but that he had to send gift cards to an FBI agent in order to receive them.
