  • Fraudulent bank drafts leave 3 victims out more than 50k in valuables: Richmond RCMP

Residents of Richmond are being warned to stay alert after fraudulent bank drafts left three area victims short more than 50-thousand-dollars in valuables.

The Mounties say the first two incidents happened on December 8th involving a woman and a man who were both selling items online.

In both cases, they were paid with bank drafts which they later learned were fraudulent.

The third incident happened on December 11th when a woman was given a fake bank draft as a payment for an item she sold online, and police believe all three cases are linked.
