Victoria Police are warning the community after theyB次元官网网址檝e seen an increase in reports of what theyB次元官网网址檙e calling the B次元官网网址淚nheritance Scam,B次元官网网址� with an old fashioned twist.
At least six people have reported receiving letters indicating they should reach out to the bank because they are entitled to 90 per cent of the funds B次元官网网址� 23 million pounds in most cases. Instead of an online operation, the letters are addressed to each recipient individually and have been delivered to their residences in Greater Victoria.
B次元官网网址淲hile introduced by hand delivered letter, similar to email-based inheritance scams, recipients are asked to reply via an email address,B次元官网网址� VicPD said in a release.
None of the recipients in Victoria or Esquimalt have been defrauded. Police say the hand delivery method is a recent development in terms of ongoing scams, so while it may appear legitimate, it is not.
B次元官网网址淚t is important to remember no bank would offer anyone money in this way,B次元官网网址� VicPD said.
