The scam involves offenders ringing a victim and then convincing the victim that it is the victims bank calling regarding issues with an account. Through a web of lies the scammers convince the victim to allow the scammers to remotely access their computer and therefore gain access to the victims online banking. The scammers have also convincingly requested that the victim turn off their cell phone preventing the banks from contacting the victim if any unusual banking activity is detected.





These scammers are primarily targeting the elderly and vulnerable. They are getting away with thousands of dollars at a time which is often not able to be recovered!!

Police have received a number of recent crimes relating to fraud on Facebook, specifically with regards to placing deposits.

Criminals are advertising items such as cars at a very very cheap price, and then urging people to place a deposit as soon as possible.  The language these criminals use indicate that if you do not place a deposit very soon, the car might be sold.  Unsuspecting buyers are caught up in their language of urgency and the criminals are disappearing with the deposits. 

Police are requesting all persons to be cautious of placing a deposit for cars.
This may also be true of other items and even accommodation e.g. BnB as there have recently  been fraudulent activities in this domain too.
