The OPP would like to remind the public to watch out for certain types of fraud.
Police say they received a call from a local senior who had fallen victim to a fraud call involving lottery winnings from the United States.
She was told that if she wanted to claim the winnings she had to send money to pay for the taxes.
Money then was sent on several occasions to different people with the local believing that she was going to receive the lottery winnings that were promised to her.
The OPP would like to remind the public to be on the lookout for this type of fraud. If you suspect or someone you know has been affected by this type of fraud, contact your local Police Service or Crime Stoppers.
