Ridge Meadows R-C-M-P say the community is facing an ongoing extortion scam that has triggered five reports to police in three days.
Police say scammers are contacting residents with claims of having compromising photos and videos of the victim.
Those contacted are then directed to send money to a bitcoin wallet, demanding a two-thousand-dollar payment.
Police say none of the victims reporting the scam complied with the demands, and any residents who are contacted should reach out to police immediately.
