L&A COUNTY OPP WARN OF POTENTIAL SCAM
(L&A COUNTY and HASTINGS COUNTY, ON) – L&A County OPP would like to inform the public about a current scam that is being used to prey on victims.
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre continues to receive reports from victims who have been contacted by fraudsters claiming to be from their financial institution, law enforcement or one of their online merchants. Suspects claim that there have been suspicious charges on your credit card or in your online account. They claim the charge is either from an online purchase, in-store transaction or overseas transfer. They then state they need your credit card information to cancel the transaction.
Many reports indicate that scammers will gain access to the victims’ computer to continue the “investigation”. Victims are then shown a fraudulent transaction on their online banking account. The scammers state they want the victims' help in an ongoing “investigation” against the criminals who stole their money. The alleged bank investigator and/or law enforcement official indicates they will send victims a deposit of funds, for the victims to send overseas as part of the “investigation”. It is not until the transfers are completed that the victims realize funds were never deposited into their account.
Warning Signs – How to Protect Yourself
Calls from Bank Investigator scammers tend to happen early in the morning when a victim is still sleeping or not alert.
Financial institutions or online merchants will never request transferring funds to an external account for security reasons.
Criminals use Call-Spoofing to mislead victims. Do not assume that phone numbers appearing on your call display are accurate.
Never provide remote access to your computer.
If you get an incoming call claiming to be from your financial institution tell the caller that you will call them back. End the call and dial the number on the back of your card from a different phone if possible or wait 10 minutes before making the outgoing call.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
The Lennox and Addington (L&A) County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind parents/guardians and children that Halloween can be a time of both excitement and potential danger. Help keep everyone safe by following these safety tips:
Always have your treats checked by an adult before eating them;
Carry a flashlight and select a costume with bright colours and reflective material to increase visibility to drivers;
Use makeup instead of masks. Masks can reduce one’s ability to see obstacles, vehicles and other people;
Avoid baggy, long and oversized costumes that can be a tripping hazard;
Walk, don’t run and remember to stop, look and listen before crossing the street;
Never criss-cross the street. Cross at crosswalks or intersections. Call on one side of the street, then the other;
Never trick or treat alone, go in a group or with an adult;
If trick or treating with friends tell your parents/guardians your route and when you will be home;
Stay in familiar neighbourhoods and only go to homes that are well lit and that are participating in Halloween;
Never go inside a house to get your treat.
Motorists are reminded to drive with caution and be on the lookout for trick or treaters throughout the afternoon and evening.
Following the above safety tips and using common sense will allow you to have a safe and fun Halloween!
