Police are warning residents to be wary of an international letter scam.
It can still happen in the age of technology, where Internet and email fraud run rampant. At least one person living in Thunder Bay received the fraudulent piece of mail, which claims to be from the president of a bank in Spain.
According to the letter, the recipient is supposedly the distant relative of someone who has died in the European country and left a sizable amount of money behind.
In this case, it was more than $61 million.
The letter instructs the recipient to call, fax or email to make secret arrangements to claim some of the money.
