A local bank is being credited with saving a man from a lottery scam.
Dryden Police say a 78-year-old received a call on Friday that he had won a lottery and was told to go to the bank to forward $1,000 in order to collect his winnings.
He complied but was stopped by a bank employee who recognized that this was fraud.
Police remind the public that fraudsters like to prey upon seniors. T
hey ask that you report these calls to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and/or police.
