Senior loses $1,200 to scammer promising a free car in exchange for Apple gift cards.

A senior in Mission was scammed out of $1,200 after a caller told him he won a new car but needed to pay a processing fee with Apple gift cards. The man purchased the cards, only to find out he had been defrauded. Mission RCMP warned residents to be cautious, noting that if something seems too good to be true or demands immediate payment with gift cards, it's likely a scam.
