An Ontario woman is out $86,000 after receiving a call from a fraudster claiming to be a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) investigator. They told her that her bank accounts were involved in a money laundering operation.
I warned a coworker years ago their wife was getting scamed. A friend form their past contacted them and needed help, with money. Being good christian folks they gave it. Never saw it again. A month later he was like yes it was a scam.
Then again, deadbeats asking for cash is an entirely different thing. You KNOW there’s a good chance you won’t see them or the money again, but for some people the conscience wins out.
