The Guelph Police Service is investigating after a woman lost approximately $40,000 in a bank fraud.
Sunday afternoon, the victim in her 20s contacted police to report the fraud. She had received an email allegedly from her bank asking her to log in to read a secure message. She clicked on the link and provided her log-in information, however a short time later received messages that her accounts had been emptied and she was locked out of her accounts.
The victim said approximately $40,000 had been taken from her accounts and possibly another $10,000 from investment accounts. The incident remains under investigation.
