LPS Report $500,000 Lost In Scams By Residents This Year - August 22, 2022 - Micah Quinn
An increase in gift card related fraud is prompting the Lethbridge Police Service to issue a warning. The Economic Crimes Unit has received a half dozen complaints from local victims who bought gift cards as part of a scam. Police say over $500,000 has been allegedly taken from victims so far this year from various scams. In addition, a total of $50,000 has also been lost to cryptocurrency scams. Last year, around $200,000 was lost. Most scams come through email or through the phone where fraudsters pretend to be from a bank or government agency. Staff from the Economic Crimes Unit say that seniors are primarily targeted.
If you have been the victim of a scam and have lost money you can report it by calling the LPS complaint line at 403-328-4444.
