Calgary police warn of fraud calls impersonating officers
Each year, thousands of Canadians become victims of fraud, and Calgary police are warning the public of people impersonating officers and banks. Loading the player instance is taking more time than usual Loading the player instance is taking more time than usual The Calgary Police Service (CPS) is warning the public about financial scams involving people posing as officers. There have been more than 30 reports of Calgarians receiving calls from people impersonating officers this year. Victims have lost more than $43,000 combined. The fraudsters are making the caller ID appear as a Calgary police phone number. Staff Sgt. Peter Duchnij says police will never call or email and ask for financial information or money. 'If the person identifies themselves as a police officer, it's OK to ask them, 'What's their full name? What's their badge number? Where do they work? What is the case number that's associated?' And ask for a call back,' said Duchnij. 'Call the non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 and speak to an operator, just to confirm all that data.' If you're a victim of financial fraud, report it to police or Crime Stoppers. Other forms of fraud can be reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. More than 36,000 Canadians were defrauded out of almost $650 million last year, according to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. Each year, thousands of Canadians become victims of fraud, and Calgary police are warning the public of people impersonating officers and banks. Each year, thousands of Canadians become victims of fraud, and Calgary police are warning the public of people impersonating officers and banks. Calgarian Danielle Gaddess was targeted this year, losing $18,000 to someone impersonating her bank. The call display showed the name of her bank, and the fraudsters claimed someone was actively in her account stealing her money. They even instructed her to cut up her card and sent a fake courier to get it. 'It looked like the bank. It talked like the bank. The protocols they were giving me were from the bank. Then they provided me the courier's name, the courier's licence plate, the make and model, everything that I would think that if it was a crook, they wouldn't have provided,' Gaddess said. She's fighting the bank to get her money back. 'I might even be losing my house. They drained me. I have nothing to fall back on,' Gaddess said.

B.C. man who pushed girlfriend to her death off cliff gets sentence reduced
A man who killed his girlfriend by pushing her off a cliff in Nanaimo, B.C., has had his sentence reduced on appeal. The court heard Kyle Ordway had been in a relationship with Amy Watts for years when he shoved her down an approximately 15-metre rockface to her death in May 2021. Ordway told friends they had been fighting at the time. He later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to four years behind bars – but appealed the punishment because of how the judge calculated his credit for time served, which went against a joint submission from the Crown and defence. In a decision issued last week, a three-justice panel at the B.C. Court of Appeal found in Ordway's favour. 'The Crown agrees the judge erred as alleged. Respectfully, so do I,' said Chief Justice Leonard Marchand, in the panel's reasons. Recalculated for a federal sentence The Crown and defence submitted that Ordway should serve a four-year sentence, and be credited at a rate of 1.5:1 for the time he'd already spent in custody. The court heard Ordway, who was 40 years old at sentencing, had a difficult childhood, and began using drugs at an early age. While the judge said she accepted the joint submission, she also credited Ordway at a reduced rate of 1.435:1. Doing so meant he would end up with two years plus a day remaining – long enough for a federal sentence. The judge considered the fact that Ordway and Watts were intimate partners, and that the killer had not sought help after pushing her off the cliff, as aggravating factors. 'She concluded a two-year sentence in a federal institution would meet the public interest,' Marchand said. 'No basis' to stray from joint submission While judges are not bound by joint submissions, the Court of Appeal noted there is a 'stringent' test for rejecting them – and found Ordway's judge failed to meet that bar in her reasons. 'On a proper application of the public interest test, there was no basis to reduce the jointly proposed credit for Mr. Ordway's pre-sentence custody,' Marchand said. 'Simply put, the proposed credit for pre-sentence custody would not have brought the administration of justice into disrepute.' The panel pointed out the proposed credit and granted credit were 'very close,' at 729 days versus 762 days. The Court of Appeal decreased Ordway's sentence in accordance with the joint submission. Since it began on Oct. 28, 2024, the updated sentence will end in September 2026.
