Telephone scam artists continue to actively hit South Cariboo residents in the pocketbook.
Carefree Manor manager Mel Torgerson
says four or five senior residents have been recently targeted with the “grandparents scam,” and a couple of them fell for it.
Torgerson says 100 Mile House RCMP officers recommended he contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, which, he adds, provided him with helpful information on avoiding the scam.
