The phishing scam in which an employee gets mail which appears to be from a boss or superior is seen again in Durham Region where police say three local charities have reported an attempt to trick the treasurer into sending money. They say the bogus emails appeared to be from the charity’s president but of course, were not. Another tipoff to a scam in progress was the direction to buy $500 in Google gift cards. Uh-huh, sure.
Truck tractor stopped with spike belt at Fruitland
OPP have stopped a stolen truck tractor and arrested two men with the use of a spike belt across the QEW at Fruitland east of Hamilton. It’s not clear where the vehicle was stolen but a chase began when OPP saw it on Highway 403 near Burlington. It turned around and headed towards Niagara but the spike belt team was waiting for and brought the truck to a stop where the men were arrested.
