Canada: Woman lied to bank about being in abusive relationship, scammed $70Gs

Story here. Excerpt:

'A woman in Alberta lied about domestic violence to bilk an Ontario woman out of $70,000, police said.

Mounties were alerted to a woman who went to TD and Scotiabank in the Spruce Grove and Stony Plain area, just west of Edmonton, with a forged identification of a woman in Ontario.

Cpl. Colette Zazulak says the suspect was very manipulative at the bank, telling employees she was fleeing an abusive relationship and all she had was her social insurance number.

The suspect somehow got hold of the victim's social insurance number and used it to get a photo ID.

Once the fraudster got into the victim's bank accounts, she used her line of credit and made fraudulent purchases.'
