CALGARY Scammers are still targeting Lethbridge residents, tricking victims out of thousands of dollars with promises of online purchases, timeshares and computer repairs. It’s Fraud Prevention Month and the Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) is hoping to make sure more citizens are aware of the dangers of online scams and do all they can to protect themselves. The renewed effort comes after a year when scammers scored about $273,000 from victims through a variety of schemes. In 2020, online scams cost victims in Lethbridge more than $200,000, while online buying and selling scams netted about $73,000 for fraudsters. Officials say one victim, who believed a timeshare offer was for real, lost about $51,000 while another person who allowed crooks to remotely access their computer lost about $55,000.
