North Vancouver RCMP are warning the public of spike in fraud targeting seniors.
On May 15, 2025, an elderly woman was contacted by someone impersonating a financial institution fraud investigator. The caller advised the elderly woman that fraudulent purchases had been noted on her chequing account and her card chips must be checked. Shortly after, a male who claimed to be from her bank attended her residence to collect her bank cards.
Unbeknownst to the elderly woman, she just handed her bank cards to a fraudster who racked up $23,000 in fraudulent charges.
The elderly woman later reported the incident to her financial institution and police in an effort to recoup some of the money lost.
Investigators have determined that the suspect(s) may be travelling throughout the Lower Mainland. Eight Similar frauds with the same modus operandi have been reported and they are currently in North Vancouver committing these frauds. The investigations are active and ongoing.
"We continue to repeat our warnings, but we don't mind being a broken record. We need would-be targets to know how to recognize these scams," says said Corporal Mansoor Sahak of the North Vancouver RCMP. "We also need friends, family, neighbours, anyone who interacts with the elderly or those who are new to Canada to tell them about these scams, how to recognize them, and what to do if they are contacted by a scammer. Anyone can be a target, says Sahak, and some of the fraudsters are extremely convincing.
Here are some additional guidelines to follow to help prevent being victimized:
Never give out personal information such as:
Remember: if you didn't initiate the call, you don't know who you're talking to.
