Victoria police are urging computer users to be cautious after recovering more than $35,000 in an online scam. Investigators are searching for more victims of the scheme after identifying targets in Victoria, Ontario, New York, Wisconsin and New Jersey. "If a company is going to return money through a legitimate means they're not going to be asking you to deposit money and then withdraw," Rutherford said. Of the total, $23,000 has been returned to a victim in Ontario and another $12,000 to a victim in Wisconsin. If you have been the victim of this fraud, contact the Victoria Police Department at 250-995-7654.
