More than $5 million was lost to the so-called Grandparent scam in 2022 according to newly released data.
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre is again asking people to vigilant when getting a call from strangers.
Earlier this year Peterborough Police received numerous calls about the scam, taking reports about residents who had received phone calls and those calling to report that money was exchanged.
In one of the most recent calls at the end of January, it was reported that a local resident lost $15,000.
