The woman came to the door with a sob story about a sick baby that would draw at anyone鈥檚 heart strings. Now 91原创 RCMP are looking for the 20-something fraudster.

On Sept. 5, an overweight woman in her late 20s arrived at several doorsteps in the neighbourhood of 264 Street and 56 Avenue, claiming to be a neighbour down the street who has been locked out of the house by accident and needs to use the victim鈥檚 phone.

She tells her victims that her baby is very sick and urgently in need of medicine. The woman then gives quite a story and says she doesn鈥檛 have enough money to pay for the medications and requests a loan, said 91原创 RCMP.

The fraudster may elaborate on the ruse stating that her family is out of town and unable to assist. As she departs, she may even provide an 鈥業OU鈥�, a phone number and a promise to return. Needless to say, she doesn鈥檛 return.

One victim even offered to drive the woman to the pharmacy to get the medication. The fraudster said it wasn鈥檛 necessary.

One victim gave $100 to the woman and another gave $60. The suspect had her hair in a ponytail and wore beige shorts and a black shirt.

Police continue to investigate to identify the woman responsible for this fraud.

鈥淲hile it is commendable for us to want to help those in need, it鈥檚 a sad reality that there are those out there who take advantage,鈥� said 91原创 RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks.

鈥淚t is your good will these fraudsters are preying upon. There is a variety of community and social services available to assist people with legitimate predicaments.鈥�

If you have information for the police about this woman call 91原创 RCMP at 604-532-3200.
