The Hamilton Police Service Crimes Against Seniors Unit has arrested and charged a woman in connection with a fraud targeting an elderly victim through a “bank investigator” scam.
The victim received a phone call from an individual impersonating a bank investigator, who claimed the victim’s account had been flagged for money laundering. The caller instructed the victim to transfer funds from his account to another account. Believing the request to be legitimate, the victim complied.

- Fraud Over $5,000
- Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000
She was released on an Undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
