RCMP warn of new scam
Police in the South Okanagan-Similkameen are warning locals about a new type of scam.
In a social media post Monday, RCMP warned that there is a scam targeting elders in the community.
“A younger scammer approaches someone and attempts to put a gold chain around their victim’s neck after a quick conversation,” reads the informational post.
“In the process of putting on this fake gold chain, the thief removes and steals the real jewelry the victim is wearing and runs off.”
Anyone who witnesses or experiences this behaviour is asked to call police immediately to report the details.
