The Winnipeg Police Service Commercial Crime unit is currently investigating complaints regarding persons posing as bank representatives.

Elderly females have been contacted by a male posing as a bank representative who has personal information regarding the victim's bank account and credit cards.

He requests assistance in an investigation he is conducting by having the victim withdraw a large sum of money from their account and deliver it to him at a location other than the bank under the guise of keeping the investigation confidential. To date one elderly female has lost a substantial amount of money to this scam.

Anyone with information regarding this scam or anyone receiving a call of this nature is asked to contact the Winnipeg Police Service Commercial Crime Unit at 986-6231 or the Police non emergency line at 986-6222.

So what happened to the case? Was the fake banker caught? I think that people should know the individuals who work in the bank where they keep their money. You shouldn't trust anyone just because they told you that they are from the bank. Ask questions and always try to get some information from him as well.
