A warning this morning from LaSalle Police about a new job scam that's making the rounds.
A town resident became suspicious after being offered a job with a Calgary-based IT firm.
Nearly $1900 was e-transferred to his bank account.
He was then told to re-distribute the money to various locations using methods like 'Bitcoin ATM' and others.
A check with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre indicates he's one of 6 people approached this month alone.
LaSalle Police are urging anyone to be leery of a scenario that involves the re-distribution of money.
The initial deposit usually turns out to be fraudulent.
