Scam

On January 14th a Roberts Creek resident called police to report being scammed of $2350.  The resident reported that she received a text message from someone purporting to be her son, claiming he had dropped his phone in water and it wasn't working.  The scammer asked to be e-transferred money to purchase a new phone.  After sending two e-transfers, the victim became suspicious and called her son on his phone and confirmed that he had not damaged his phone and had not asked for money.  This is a common scam that has victimized many people.  The RCMP ask that if you receive this type of request you confirm the identity of the caller prior to sending any money.
