EDMONTON The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) advised residents Friday to have a talk about scams with their loved ones after a woman lost more than $200,000 in three months. In a news release, police said the scam started in December when a woman was contacted by phone by someone posing as a fraud investigator at her bank. The investigator convinced the woman her bank account had been compromised and her financial advisor was a scammer. The man said she couldn t tell her family or police as it would interfere with his investigation. The investigator eventually convinced her to purchase Google Play Cards and give him the security codes to catch the scammer .
