It is Fraud Prevention Month and the Saint John Police Fraud Unit would like to alert the public of an on-going bail scam targeting residents in our area.<\/p>\n

The scam typically involves a fraudster calling and identifying themselves as a relative, police officer or lawyer.<\/p>\n

The fraudster claims that the victim\u2019s relative has been arrested and asks the victim to send the fraudster bail money.<\/p>\n

The fraudster tells the victim that they should not talk to anyone else about the arrest.<\/p>\n

If you should receive a call from anyone asking you to send money, hang up and call police.<\/p>\n

The Saint John Police receives over 100 complaints related to telephone and internet scams each year. $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
