Just days before a planned seminar to protect seniors from becoming victims of crime, police say a 76-year-old woman was bilked out of $50,000.
Before the victim even caught on that she was being scammed, the scammer then posed as a detective working out of Montreal for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) telling her "he knows all about the scam and he needs her to co-operate and wants to help her because she is a legitimate winner."
