Con Artist Scams $15K From Kincardine Resident

A Kincardine resident lost $15,000 to a con artist.

South Bruce OPP says a resident received a Visa Security call to report some concerning credit card transactions.

However, the "so-called investigation" that ensued resulted in the significant financial loss.

The OPP say modern scammers create very convincing cons often using the name of a legitimate company to gain your trust and trick you.

Always be cautious with unsolicited email, letters, phone calls, and even visitors.

Always double check who you are dealing with before sharing personal information or handing over money.
