Moragans Continue To Send Money To Canadian Thieves

A con man (or woman) in British Columbia is $5,000 richer and undoubtedly very happy after another donation by a local resident.

 

A Moragan living on St. Andrews Drive fell for the " and, thinking his grandson was actually in the hands of authorities there, sent $5,000 to a mail drop on King George Blvd. in Surrey, British Columbia.

The telephone con was reported on August 29 and came to light when the well-meaning grandfather had second thoughts about sending the money and contacted police.
