Police warn of fake banker scam after B.C. senior defrauded of $9K

BURNABY, B.C. — Mounties in Burnaby are asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect believed to have defrauded a senior of thousands of dollars by posing as a bank employee.

Police say they received a report in September saying a man called the victim and was able to obtain their date of birth and passwords.

They say he then went to a bank and withdrew $9,000 from the senior’s bank account.

RCMP say officers later discovered the suspect went to four financial institutions across the Lower Mainland from Sept. 21 to 23.
