A 75-year-old St. Thomas man has been scammed out of $800 after someone posing as an employee from the Royal Bank called him and requested he forward Google Play Cards.
City police remind residents a bank will never ask you to purchase any type of gift card and forward the PIN codes.
If you receive this type of request, hang up.
