RCMP warning of fraudsters.
Revelstoke RCMP are warning about several scams making the rounds.
Recently, the victim received a phone call from someone posing to be a friend who needed bail money after getting into an accident while drinking.
The victim ended up e-transferring 25 hundred dollars to the man's lawyer – who ended being a fraudster.
In another instance, a caller posing as a grandson claimed he was in jail and needed money after a drunk driving accident.
Fortunately, the victim called police where he was advised not to send any cash as the matter was a scam.
In most cases, the scammers make emotional pleas in an effort to take advantage of a parent or grandparent.
