ON September 26 at approximately 10:40 a.m., Chilliwack RCMP responded to a report of a fraud in progress at a local financial institution. Thanks to a coordinated effort between the bank staff and officers, a bail scam targeting a vulnerable community member of the community was successfully prevented. Fraudsters are contacting elderly individuals, claiming that a family member has been arrested and urgently requires bail money. Police do not request bail money payments through third parties or in-person exchanges. If you or someone you know has been targeted by this scam, contact the RCMP non-emergency line or visit your local detachment.
