马尼托巴皇家骑警警告老年人, 欺诈者假冒家人或律师盗取保释金的骗局不断上升。 Manitoba RCMP warn seniors about rising scams where fraudsters impersonate family or lawyers to steal bail money.

马尼托巴省皇家骑警队警告说,针对Flin Flon等北部社区老年人的祖父母骗局正在上升,那里最近有四名老年居民被假扮亲属或律师的骗徒接近,声称家庭成员需要紧急保释金。 Manitoba RCMP warn of a rise in grandparent scams targeting seniors in northern communities like Flin Flon, where four elderly residents were recently approached by scammers posing as relatives or lawyers, claiming a family member needed urgent bail money. 已指示受害者将现金邮寄到省外的地址,造成两起案件的重大损失,同时截获了一起交易。 Victims were instructed to send cash by mail to out-of-province addresses, resulting in significant losses in two cases, while one transaction was intercepted. 当局强调,这些骗局利用精神压力和紧迫感,特别是在老年人中,并敦促公众核实可疑电话,避免根据主动要求寄钱,并立即向加拿大皇家骑警、犯罪制止者或加拿大反诈骗中心报告事件。 Authorities stress these scams exploit emotional distress and urgency, particularly among seniors, and urge the public to verify suspicious calls, avoid sending money based on unsolicited requests, and report incidents immediately to RCMP, Crime Stoppers, or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
