Residents are reminded to be cautious when dealing with individuals online after a Guelph man lost $188,000 US in a cryptocurrency scam.
The victim reported he met a male in the summer through an online chat forum and believed the two knew each other from childhood overseas. Between September and the end of November the victim transferred $188,000 US through a series of transactions for the purposes of buying cryptocurrency.
When he was asked this week to pay an additional 30 per cent verification fee he called police.
Residents are urged to be extremely cautious when communicating online with anyone they do not know personally. Transfers to recipients in other countries are extremely difficult to trace and the chance of recouping lost funds is low.
Anyone who suspects they have been the victim of cybercrime or fraud should report it to their local police and to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centres online reporting system or by phone at 1-888-495-8501. Even if no financial loss has been sustained, interactions can still be reported to the CAFC.
Watches, laptops stolen in break-in
The Guelph Police Service is investigating after watches, laptops and other property were stolen from a north-end office.
Monday morning police were called to an address near Silvercreek Parkway North and Woodlawn Road West. An employee arrived at work and found a broken window and damage inside. The business was entered sometime over the weekend.
Two gold-plated watches, two laptops, cash and gift cards were reported missing.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call Constable Melissa Anthony at 519-824-1212, ext. 7487, email manthony@guelphpolice.ca, leave an anonymous message for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or leave an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.
Man arrested in six gas thefts
A Guelph man has been arrested on a series of theft charges, including six counts of stealing gas from the same south-end station.
In November the Guelph Police Service Break Enter Auto Theft Unit began an investigation into a male involved in several retail thefts. These included six gas drive-offs from the same station during the month of November as well as three shoplifting incidents at different businesses.
On January 2 officers located the man sitting in his vehicle in a parking lot on Silvercreek Parkway North and he was arrested.
A 39-year-old Guelph man is charged with nine counts of theft under $5,000. He will appear in court February 11.
Two e-bikes stolen
The Guelph Police Service is investigating after two matching e-bikes were stolen from a shed.
On Monday police were called to a home near Woolwich Street and Speedvale Avenue. The homeowner reported his shed had been entered by prying open the latch. Two Envo D35 e-bikes were stolen.
Both bikes are teal and white with black nylon luggage bags on the rear and mirrors on the left handlebars. Each is valued at approximately $2,000.
Anyone with information is asked to call Constable Scott Srigley at 519-824-1212, ext. 7298, email ssrigley@guelphpolice.ca, leave an anonymous message for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or leave an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.
