Quick change scam hits Mill Bay business

 

A Quick Change Scam that has affected numerous businesses in Nanaimo and Ladysmith also targeted a Mill Bay cafe a couple weeks ago.

Rusticana barista Ruby Brassen says a well-dressed man came in and purchased a coffee using a 50-dollar bill. He then asked for a specific combination of bills as change before changing his mind and asking for a different combination several times, confusing her and causing her to lose track. At the end of the transaction, the man asked for his original 50-dollar bill back.

 

The incident in Mill Bay happened on April 10th, while incidents in Ladysmith were reported between April 12th to the 17th, and an incident in Nanaimo on April 18th.
