New Scams Targeting Businesses

More scams are circulating the Rainy River District.

Two target businesses.

OPP say the ‘Business Executive’ scam mimics an email from a company executive to someone authorized to conduct electronic transfers.

The email suggests the business account is undergoing an audit and a new account has been set up to move funds to.

The ‘Card Not Present’ scam claims to be from a supplier or contractor indicatin their banking information has changed. A new one is offered up to forward payment.

OPP suggest double-checking in either case to verify any change of accounts.
