Victoria resident who sent $88,000 to
an overseas love interest is the latest victim of an online romance
scam, financial crimes detectives say.
The incident was reported to
police after the person who sent the money lost contact with the
scammer and became suspicious, says Victoria Constable Mike Russell.
He said Tuesday the victim is in his or her 60s, though he wouldn’t
reveal the person’s gender.
