St. Catharines senior scammed out of $20,000

A St. Catharines family is seeking justice after one of its members was swindled out of thousands of dollars in a scam involving gift cards.

A 77-year old man says he was enticed to purchase them to avoid theft on his credit card and is now trying to recoup his losses.

As Jason Gaidola reports, police say the chances of retrieving the money are slim.
