Fraud Incidents
The Peterborough Police Service is issuing a warning after a two reports of fraud involving a request for help to stop hackers.
The incidents happened in the last three weeks in the City of Peterborough. In each case, the victim was approached by someone claiming to be connected to Microsoft or Bell Canada and that they needed the victim’s help stopping hackers who were trying to access the victim's computer or bank accounts. The scammers indicate there is an urgency to the matter and the victim needs to get money out of their bank as soon as possible so an “agent” can come to their house to pick up the cash. Between the two incidents about $25,000 was lost.
The man who picked up the money in both cases was described to police as:
- Male, Asian
- Approximately 5’6 -5’7
- Between 20 and 30 years old
- Dark Hair
- Clean cut
- Well dressed
