In early 2023, three suspects from Quebec were arrested following a complex investigation into a series of fraud and organized crime that targeted victims in Saskatoon through what is known as the “Grandparent Scam.” In total, these criminals defrauded local residents of more than $180,000. Such investigations will continue nationwide until such time that the criminal organizations responsible for these acts are dissolved.
To close off Fraud Prevention Month, join Sergeant Grant McMillan of the Economic Crime Section who takes us inside the investigation to reveal exactly how the fraudsters plan was foiled through a police operation and the help of some sharp seniors.
