๐An anti-fraud investigation involving police from Quebec, Ontario, and the United States has resulted in the arrest of 14 individuals connected to a "grandparent scam" that allegedly defrauded Canadians of $2.2 million since February 2022. The suspects, aged 24 to 34, recently relocated from Toronto to Montreal and Laval, according to Sรปretรฉ du Quรฉbec (SQ) Sgt. Benoit Dubรฉ. This year alone, they're accused of defrauding 126 people across Canada of approximately $739,000. Most victims, aged 46 to 95, were contacted via landline, with scammers posing as law enforcement officers demanding bail money for the release of a family member.โ . ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฌ๐, ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ'๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ. ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐ (๐๐๐) ๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ @neena.robin . . #GrandparentScam #FraudPrevention #MontrealCrime #LavalCrime #FraudAlert #AntiFraudInvestigation #OntarioPolice #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
