Police and Resident

home: Aftwards, police say, the caller pretends to be the resident they just called and then calls police to request emergency assistance at the resident home address, in order to intimidate the resident into paying, according to CBC. On Monday, police were called to a home on Ladyslipper Drive in Waterloo by an unknown female. The person making the calls has been demanding residents pay approximately $2,500 for a 'voucher,' and if the resident refuses, the person has been threatening to call the police. The female caller said two armed men with shotguns were trying to get inside the home. The family had, however, received a call from three men claiming to be from Immigration Canada. When police arrived, they found a family at home who all said they did not call police or see any men with guns near their house. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
