“Bank Investigator” scam in Red Deer
Red Deer RCMP
In less than a week, Red Deer RCMP have received three reports concerning senior citizens who were targeted by the “Bank Investigator” scam. In this scam, the victim receives a phone call from someone claiming to be with their bank, who says they are investigating an internal theft. The scammer then asks their victim to help them catch the thief by withdrawing money from their bank account and bringing it to a meeting place away from the bank the scammer claims to represent.
All three victims were defrauded of several thousand dollars each. While the details of these calls may differ, this is a common scam that resurfaces regularly across the country; RCMP remind the public that no bank or other legitimate business will ever approach clients to ask for assistance in this way. People who receive calls such as these are asked to report them to police immediately.
RCMP encourage you to protect yourself from fraud by learning how to recognize it. Police further urge you to take the time to identify the people in your life who may be vulnerable to the stories spun by scammers, educate them about these scams and help them develop responses to persistent, sometimes bullying people on the other end of the phone. You may also want to encourage the vulnerable people in your life to lower their daily withdrawal limit at their bank. Helpful information on common scams and ways to protect yourself can be found at www.antifraudcentre.ca.
Anyone with information that may assist the police in identifying or locating the person responsible for this crime is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403.343.5575. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1.800.222.8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.
