The Kawartha Lakes O.P.P. is warning residents of a scam making its rounds.
The detachment says it was told by a resident that he or she was scammed out of nine thousand dollars.
The O.P.P. says the victim took a call from someone who says his name is Alex Gills, a security specialist from a large bank.
The caller apparently says he was investigating possible fraudulent activity on the resident’s bank account.

The Kawartha Lakes detachment is urging residents to hang up immediately if they receive these types of calls.
