A big shout out to the staff of the HMCS Charlottetown for all their hard work in raising money and awareness for the children’s wish campaign. Charlottetown police are always glad to help out these worthwhile campaigns.
Charlottetown Police Services continue to receive complaints of phone scams and would like to remind the public to be vigilant and recognize these scams before you share private information and/or provide the scammers with money.
Over the weekend, 3 separate frauds were reported to police – one victim was defrauded $700.00, the second victim sent $2100.00 and the third victim sent $5000.00.
The forms of scams vary and evolve over time. One consistent theme is that they use fear tactics and threats to pressure the victim into providing personal/banking information and/or pressure them into sending payments that usually consist of a bitcoin transaction, wire transfer or prepaid gift cards.
