Warning tale of a man duped into paying for his own dormant bank funds
William McGuire, a 35 year old educational assistant, agreed to pay 1500 for help accessing an inactive TD Bank account he already owned. A scammer from Estate Locators of Canada claimed a large estate existed and urged signature on a form, only to reveal the fund was his own dormant balance of 4512 dollars. The case illustrates how dormant funds are sometimes misrepresented to trick unsuspecting individuals.
