New scam warning from Police

Regional Police say a new scam is making the rounds and this one appears to be aimed at seniors.

Police say over the past five days, there have been three such cases in Wilmot Township.
Here’s what happens; the victim receives a phone call from someone claiming to be a relative, often a grandchild.

They tell the victim  they’re in trouble with the law and need money for bail or legal fees.

They also try to convince the victim not to tell other family members and ask them to wire the funds through a money transfer service often to a person in another city or province.

You are urged to contact police if you receive such a phone call.
