Kemptville OPP warning of a new scam: Find the mole


The North Grenville Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is warning the public after two people in Kemptville were defrauded of thousands of dollars in a new telephone scam.


The scheme involves the victim receiving a phone call from someone posing as a bank employee asking for help with weeding out a mole at the bank. They will instruct the victims to purchase iTunes gift cards and transfer money through Western Union. They will call multiple times and even refer the victim to a website.


Protect yourself from this and other frauds and scams. Don't give out personal financial details or information over the phone. Don't believe callers who say they are from your bank or credit card companies and if you have a concern, go to your bank personally. Educate yourself about banking practices. Banks would never advise you to transfer funds to another outside account to protect your funds.
