The scams they never stop.
Toronto Police are warning of the latest COVID-19 scam targeting seniors and others that residents should know about.
Police are warning members of the community to be cautious of fraudsters who contact them online or by email or phone claiming to be medical professionals who are offering free goods.
Detectives, in a release, say scammers, who claim to be members of Public Health or the World Health Organization, are offering residents free masks, other goods, or COVID-19 updates.
The scammers try to establish contact and obtain personal banking information from the victim so they can clean out their accounts.
The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the top incidents used by criminals to try to steal or extort money from seniors and others, police say.
