Once again, the Poker Scam of 2015 has risen its ugly head ... this time in Timmins. In case you don't remember it, you might get a call from someone telling you that your company has been shortlisted or selected to build a building in your area.
You might be invited to attend a meeting with the company in order to go over the specs. This meeting might happen at a local hotel where you will join the scammers at the bar while awaiting the arrival of the key player.
As time goes by, you might be invited up to their suite where a card game may be taking place. You might be invited to sit in for someone while they take a washroom break.
Next thing you know, the key player is unavailable after all, and you have lost at poker!
If you get a call even remotely similar to this, please contact your local police. Check out the article from 2015 by clicking here.
