(SOUTH HURON, ON) Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating a recent scam that took place in South Huron.
On December 28, 2024, Huron OPP received a report of a fraud that had taken place that same afternoon at a business in Exeter.
Police were advised that an employee at a retail business had been messaged on their cellular phone via text indicating it was their supervisor. The supervisor directed the employee to collect all cash on site and deposit it into a Bitcoin machine in the City of London. The employee was further advised to keep this transaction discreet. The employee proceeded to deposit $9,800 in cash into a Bitcoin machine in London.
The victim later contacted their supervisors directly to follow up and discovered that they had been scammed.
If you have been victimized by fraud, please call the OPP at 1-(888)-310-1122 and report it. You are not alone, and you will be supported through the reporting process.
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre should also be contacted with any information you might have. Call 1-(888)-495-8501 or log on to antifraudcentre.ca
