Le Washington Post rapporte qu’un couple canadien dans la soixantaine a récemment reçu un appel téléphonique de ce qui ressemblait à leur petit-threads affirmant qu’il était en prison et avait besoin d’une caution. Ils ont retiré un maximum de 3 000 dollars canadiens d’une banque et s’apprêtaient à retirer le même montant d’une autre lorsque le gérant [...]
