(KINCARDINE, ON) – On February 25, 2025, the South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were dispatched to an address in the Municipality of Kincardine, where an individual reported being victim of a fraud.
Investigation revealed that over the past few months, the victim made a series of transactions amounting to approximately $100,000 through a cryptocurrency investment company. The victim stumbled upon this investment company through an online advertisement, where they later conversed with an individual on numerous occasions to facilitate the transactions. Once the victim attempted to make a withdrawal from their account, they became aware there were no funds available.
The investigation has been passed over to the South Bruce OPP Crime Unit.
We urge residents to be cautious when engaging in digital currency transactions and investments.
