South Bruce OPP are investigating after a resident in the Municipality of Kincardine fell victim to a scam.
Police were told yesterday that the victim got a phone call allegedly from "Revenue Canada" regarding an overdue amount owing and payment by Bitcoin was demanded.
The scam was successful as $4,000 was sent to the con artist.
Tech-savvy scammers use technology to create very convincing schemes to trick you into sending them money, so people need to verify any unsolicited contact.
