## Resource

Calgary police bust a high-stakes scam where four suspects posed as bank fraud agents, tricking a victim into handing over her credit card and PIN—leading to a $26,000 theft. The scammers used fake couriers and staged urgency to lure victims into surrendering their cards, then drained their accounts. Authorities raided a suspect’s home, uncovering weapons, hacking tools, and multiple IDs—all tied to the operation. Quick reporting by the victim helped crack the case. Police urge everyone: if you get a suspicious call asking for your PIN or demanding a courier, hang up and call your bank directly using a verified number. If you think you’ve been targeted, contact Calgary police immediately. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
