(Owen Sound) - There's another warning from Police to be careful with your money. Provincial police say they're getting many reports of financial scams targeting seniors and other vulnerable people across Ontario. According to Police -- people claiming to be investigators from a bank convince you to withdraw funds from your account. They say it will be used as evidence to assist with a bogus theft investigation involving bank personnel. After the money is withdrawn and handed to the phoney bank inspector -- you are told to go home and wait for a call confirming the money has been re-deposited. But Police say the call never comes -- and the money never appears in your bank account.
