Grandparent Scam
Peterborough Police have learned of another grandparent scam incident along with several attempts.
In the one incident money was sent through a courier. The victim realized once the money was sent that it was a scam and contacted police on Wednesday, March 30, 2022. Officers investigated and working with the courier company were able to prevent the package from being delivered, returning the money to the victim. The Peterborough Police Service recognizes that this is a positive outcome which doesn’t always happen in these types of cases. The investigation continues.
In the attempted incidents, the potential victims were contacted by phone with a monetary request to help a family member in need.
Peterborough Police ask residents to remain vigilant against these types of scams.
