Richmond fraud victim loses over 1M

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 24 Jul, 2024 03:35 PM
  • Richmond fraud victim loses over 1M

A fraud victim in Richmond has lost more than 1.5 million dollars.

R-C-M-P say the victim reported sending the money after people posing as Chinese police officers falsely told them about a supposed outstanding arrest warrant in Hong Kong.

This prompted police to issue a public warning.

The public alert says this type of fraud scheme has targeted the Asian community, but everyone should be on the lookout.
