Scammers are now impersonating bank personnel. The latest scam to hit the streets involves a telephone call from someone claiming to be from your bank, saying your account was tampered with by a bank employee. Once they have your attention, they ask you to go to the bank, make a cash withdrawal and then walk down the street where you will be met by a bank investigator who you are to turn the money over to in order to help them track down who is tampering with your account. OPP say you will likely never see the money again as you did voluntarily hand over the funds. OPP say if you have received a telephone call like this,contact police right away. Luckily there are a few simple precautions that individuals can take to ensure they don't fall prey to this type of fraud. - It is important to remember that neither your bank nor a police investigator will ever request that you assist in an undercover investigation or ask you to withdraw money from your account. If you receive such a suspicious call, hang up and call police. - Never give out personal bank information over the phone unless you have called your bank and they ask you questions to verify your identity. - If you do need to withdraw a large sum of money for a legitimate purpose, request a bank draft or a money order as this ensures only the intended recipient is able to access the money. Criminals will not accept these forms of payment because it creates a paper trail that can be used by real investigators to track the fraudsters. - Check your bank statement frequently and report any irregularities to your bank as soon as you notice them.
