SCAM ALERT: Fraudsters posing as employees target local businesses

The Thunder Bay Police Service’s Economic Crime Unit is warning local businesses to be aware of a scam that targets employee paycheques. The fraudsters pose as employees to intercept pay cheques via direct deposit. In one such recent case, the local victim received an email from an employee requesting changes be made to their direct deposit information. The victim, believing the request legitimately came from the employee, made the requested changes. Following the next scheduled pay day, the employee did not receive their pay cheque and the employer learned they had been the target of a scam. Employers should be aware that fraudsters may have personal information about the employees they claim to be. This makes it easy to mistake a scam for a legitimate request from an employee.
