SCAMMING SENIOR
On Aug. 4 a North Bay woman was contacted by a man on the telephone. This man advised her that he was an officer from her bank. He stated the bank suspected a fraudulent employee and that to catch this employee they would need her help.

She was told to attend her bank and withdraw almost $5000, hand it over to the “ bank officer” outside, and not tell anyone about it. She did this and later advised Police.
