Fraud:
On Friday February 7th, 2025 the victim contacted police in regards to a scam that they had fallen victim to. In previous years the victim had received a virus on their computer and contacted a company to assist with the virus and unlocked their computer. Once again in 2023 the computer was locked and the victim contacted the same company and sent a large sum of money to unlock the computer. Again in 2025 the computer was locked and the individual was referred by the company to another person who advised that they would provide them a way to retain the money they had lost previously by having them log into their banking website. Money was then removed from accounts by the fraudsters. This incident is currently under investigation. (ST25002181)
