Scammer swats Nova Scotia woman who refused bank fraud scheme

A caller posing as CIBC fraud staff told a Nova Scotia real estate agent to install a fake "CIBC Guard" app. After she refused, the scammer sent armed RCMP and Truro police to her home in a swatting attack, then sent death threats and defaced her agency's website.

• The call came on October 23 from someone claiming to be CIBC fraud staff
• About 20 minutes later armed RCMP and Truro officers surrounded her home
• CIBC confirmed no "CIBC Guard" app exists and it never asks customers to install software
• Police are still investigating the swatting incident
