Kimberley RCMP warning of gymnastics club scam

Kimberley RCMP is warning that someone has been posing as the Kimberley Gymnastics Club and asking for money in the form of gift cards.

According to police, the person has used at least two fake email accounts claiming to be the club, which they have used to contact people via email to ask for money.

One email address originally belonged to the club, while the other was a Gmail account.

This comes after a fire early in the morning of December 14, 2021, completely destroyed the Kimberley Gymnastics Club building.

If you receive such email, police ask that you do not respond to it.
