KAWARTHA LAKES- A Lindsay resident fell victim to another telephone scam on Friday afternoon according to police.
The woman was allegedly contacted at her residence from an individual claiming to be a Crown Attorney on August 11th. The caller advised that her son had been arrested and charged with distracted driving as a result of texting. She was told to purchase $4000 worth of internet “gaming cards” from a local store to cover the costs of bail. Later during a second telephone call, the victim was told to provide the “access codes” for each gaming card.
Police are still trying to determine the source of that telephone call.
