Mounties with the Nanaimo RCMP are urging residents to be wary of so-called "romance scams" ahead of Valentine's Day on Tuesday.
More recent scams have also involved fraudsters sending out random texts to victims that ask "where have you been" or "where are you," in order to elicit a conversation, according to the Nanaimo RCMP. "The purpose of the scam is to foster a sense of trust in the victim so that in the near future the fraudster can ask their victim for money and they willingly oblige," said Nanaimo RCMP spokesperson Const. Gary O’Brien.
