Warning issued on bank inspector frauds targeting elderly
Ontario Provincial Police warn of bank inspector frauds that have drained thousands from seniors over two years. A caller posing as a bank official or police officer directs a withdrawal during banking hours, arranges a taxi, and returns with a courier to collect the money. Victims are told not to tell anyone and may be asked to use a certified cheque or hand over counterfeit notes. Relatives are urged to warn elders and contact police or the bank manager for verification.
