Toronto - Jewish Community Warned about Scam

Police are warning the public to watch out for a con man targeting members of the Jewish community.

Two women have reported being befriended by a man, who earned their trust by talking about Israel and Judaism.

Once the women became friends with him, he told them he needed a loan and said he would repay them through wire transfers.

The women gave the man cash but were never repaid.

Police believe there may be more victims, and are warning the public, especially members of the Jewish community, to be on the lookout.

The suspect is described as 45-50 years old, 5-foot-5, clean-shaven with glasses and an Israeli accent.
