Fraud
On the 20 June 2016 at approximately 3:48 p.m., Killaloe OPP Constable Ryan Lapierre investigated a fraud call for service on Bay Street in Madawaska Valley Twp. Someone posing as a Canada Revenue Agency representative had convinced the complainant to purchase several iTunes cards for payment to the Canada Revenue Agency.
The Killaloe Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to warn residents of an iTunes scam that has recently surfaced in the area. Increasingly police have received complaints where fraudsters request payment for various fraudulent reasons through the purchase of iTunes gift cards. In one scenario scammers impersonate the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and claim that the target owes “back taxes”. The target is advised payment must be made immediately to avoid arrest and serious legal consequences. The targets are instructed to purchase and activate iTunes gift cards and provide the codes back to the fraudsters as a form of payment. In a second scenario scammers have impersonated a grandchild in need of financial help due to legal trouble and payment by iTunes cards is needed to bail the grandchild out of jail or pay fines.
In an effort to reduce victimization consumers need to be aware of these scams and retailers should keep the scam in mind when faced with consumers interested in purchasing large quantities of iTunes cards.
