CPL. KELLY CLARK
Police are constantly getting reports of Fraud. Often there is little that police can do because it is an international organization. We need to educate people. Police would like to direct people to the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre. It can be looked up online. As of May 31st, 2024 there have been $241 million lost to fraud. Please know, nothing in this world is free, and if it seems too good to be true, IT IS!!! Any time you are sending money to anyone, you need to be ok with knowing you may never see that money
again. Family, please watch over the elderly and vulnerable people in your life. They are often targeted by these horrible people. If you have questions or concerns about this, please visit the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre, or call the Roblin RCMP Detachment.
There were 34 files in the Roblin area and a total of 116 in the Prairie Mountain Area over the last two weeks.
