These calls are quite common and increasing across the province. The most common issue police are seeing is a suspect makes friends with the victim through social media site messaging platforms. The suspect then through an extended conversation convinces the victim to send intimate images. Once the images are sent, the suspect then threatens to send the images to the family members of the victims unless they pay a large sum of cash. This scam appears to be targeted at primarily males of all ages. The investigation has determined that the calls originate in a foreign country and extremely hard for police to deal with. The suspect almost always posts as a female and shows a great deal of interest in the victims. There seems to be no shortage of ways to scam people out of their money and the RCMP ask the public be extremely careful with their personal and financial information.

On Wednesday January 11, 2023 at approx. 3pm, Warman RCMP received a complaint of an attempted child luring. The investigation continues into this matter and the RCMP once again asks anyone who lives in the vicinity of the Brin King Center and has a video system to check for anything that may have been captured. RCMP continue to follow-up on tips coming in and seek out any additional video surveillance that may have captured the suspect vehicle.
