On December 08th an Oak Bay citizen fell victim to a fraud and is out approximately $2500.00.
The citizen answered an employment add as a “Bank Evaluator” and was sent a cheque to
deposit in a local financial institution. The citizen then kept $400 as his wage and returned the
remainder of the funds to the “employer” along with a form outlining the quality of the customer
service provided by the financial institution. The cheque turned out to be fraudulent and the
citizen is out the entire amount of the cheque. Police warn citizens that financial institutions
do not hire citizens nor contract out to other firms to use private citizens to conduct such quality
control testing of their institutions.
