Okanagan Mounties are trying to raise awareness about a number of senior focused scams running in the area.

香蕉视频直播淩CMP have received information from complaints, often elderly residents, who report an adult male who typically goes door to door and solicits cash to pay for the services of a tow truck,香蕉视频直播� said Cpl. Jesse O香蕉视频直播橠onaghey, in a press release.

香蕉视频直播淥ften the man claims to be a neighbour of the scam victim that he has broken his door key in the lock of his vehicle and has found himself short an amount of money needed to pay for the tow truck. The suspect typically promises to pay the victim back, however he never returns.

RCMP have noted another wave of door to door scams throughout the Central Okanagan, where the victim is often pressured into or convinced to purchase a service they neither want or necessarily need.

The scam often involves the scammer providing the victim with an invoice for an unreasonable and grossly overpriced amount for the often simple service provided.

香蕉视频直播淩CMP would also like to caution the public on the potential for being scammed when deciding to purchase items, such as electronics from unknown individuals in parking lot or other public locations,香蕉视频直播� reads the release.

Often times the items being sold are overpriced, and the buyer can feel pressured to buy quickly as supply is limited. RCMP would recommend the public to do their due diligence and research the purchase before buying.
