Elderly woman reported to be a victim of fraud in Edmonton. Parvathy, a 70-year-old woman, was out for a walk when a car pulled up in front of her. The man in the car told her to come closer. Parvathy says she didn't feel any panic because there was a woman and two small children in the car.

The man told her that he looked like her deceased grandmother and then gave her a ring. When she tried to refuse, he asked her to wear it for a few minutes to bless her.

They then dressed her in more jewelry and hugged her. After they left, Parvathy realized that her jewelry was missing. Parvathy's youngest son, Sahil Prasad, made the announcement in a Facebook post. Prasad said that he is sharing this information to warn others against such scams. The RCMP said they have received numerous reports from Alberta regarding gold and jewelry fraud, with robberies often taking place in parking lots.
