Bank Manager and Senior Citizens

financial information: The second scam involves a man who identifies himself as a bank manager, contacts senior citizens by phone and advises them that there is a problem with their account, a police release said. "The man then tells the person he is sending a cab to their home to pick them up and take them to the bank so they can have the issue corrected," said the release, according to CBC. Don't give financial information to callers Police say the calls are not legitimate and recommend that if people receive a call from the scammers, they should hang up and contact police, their bank and CRA. Financial crime investigators say to be suspicious of anyone calling and asking for money or credit card information. In one scam, the caller says he or she is an employee of the Canada Revenue Agency and threatens to call the police and/or have a warrant issued if the person refuses to provide credit card information for payment of an outstanding income tax debt. Victims of these scams should contact the financial crime unit at 902-490-5020, police said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
