Police have issued a warning after one person is out over $15,000 in an online employment scam. The RNC received a report from an individual who accepted an online job offer and was asked to complete on-the-job training on WhatsApp, which is an online messaging service. Training included converting money from their personal account into cryptocurrency. While the money appeared to remain in the individual’s account, the transactions totaling $15,000, were lost. Police say it is becoming more and more common to receive phone calls, emails or text messages from fraudsters impersonating government officials, well-known companies and family members. They try to defraud people, especially seniors, by using scare tactics to manipulate them into sending money. If you feel suspicious about any mode of contact, call the police and report it.
