The Thunder Bay Police Service is continuing to advise the public of financial scams that target local residents. A common scheme is the repayment scam. Scammers will send an email advising the recipient that they are due a refund or reimbursement after an overpayment for an account on a platform like Amazon or Paypal. The email will likely ask the recipients to provide banking information and may either provide a "refund form" or a request to send money by e-transfer to validate the account. Recipients may also be asked to download an app, such as AnyDesk, which will provide external control of the device, allowing scammers to have access to personal information. This is a scam. The scammers will use that information to compromise a bank account and any money sent by e-transfer will be lost. People who receive these messages are urged to ignore or delete them. If in doubt, check your account status directly on the platform in question.
