A resident of Parry Sound has fallen for a bank scam and is now out $4,800. The victim was approached by people claiming to represent a security division of a local bank who needed help solving a crime. They asked the person for $4,800 from their account so they could trace where it goes. They added once they returned the money they would add $500 as a reward. The victim gave the cash to the scammers but never saw them or the money again.   Needless to add, the person never got a $500 reward either.
