Manitoba RCMP is warning the public about interac e-transfer scams that are becoming more prevalent. In these instances, the victim receives an email which appears to be from someone trying to send them an interac e-transfer. At first glance it appears legitimate and when the victim clicks on the link and enters in their banking credentials, the scammers are able to steal the banking login information. This gives the scammers access to the account which allows them to withdraw large sums of money. Scammers are becoming more and more sophisticated, so extra caution is needed before you accept an e-transfer.

    I got a couple of these about 2 weeks ago and just deleted them. Figured if they tried again I’d block the number.

    Also received a few from so-called former “friends” looking to get in touch with me. Seeing as they spelled my name wrong and I haven’t had contact with either of them in over 45 yrs I just deleted them too.
