Gordon Page of East Vancouver reports he and his wife have received multiple scam calls in the past few months.
The most recent call came a few days ago from someone who said Page’s wife had won $3.5 million.
“How they got her name and telephone number, I don’t know,” Page said.
Page said his wife wasn’t available, so the scammers gave him the pitch, he said. All he needed to do was send them $350 via a certified check and they would send him the $3.5 million.
He didn’t let them finish the story.
He hung up and didn’t call police.
Page said he also gets a few calls a month from people who say they can decrease the interest rate on his credit cards. The callers say he has $3,000 on his current cards — he doesn’t.
