100 Mile House Seniors Targeted in New Scam

Seniors should be aware of a new scheme in the Cariboo to separate them from their cash.

Reports of a well dressed man asking for money  for he and his mother to return to Williams Lake have come in to the Country 840 studios in 100 Mile House.

The man is described as not being overly pushy, but very persuasive, and has been approaching  seniors in parking lots for gas money.

He then asks them  to go into the stores and use a Credit card to get money for him.

Seniors should be aware that this is a common scam, and to be wary of anyone asking for money.  Report any suspicious activity to the RCMP.

Something going on in the Cariboo you think people should know about?

The BX Morning Show


I first got into radio when I was a kid when a friend and I made our own radio shows on cassete tapes. Growing up in 100 Mile House, I did a workstudy at this very station.

Thanks to some good advice from my radio mentor Larry Rode, I got a certificate in broadcast arts in 1991. After failing to break into radio after school, I did other jobs but kept my hand in, working as morning host and program director at my universitys station, WUFK in Fort Kent, Maine.

Coming back to 100 Mile, when the afternoon and news job opened up, I took the dive back into radio! When Larry retired after nearly 35 years in 100 Mile, I took over the morning show. I’m happy to be at CKBX, where I always wanted to work, and waking up my hometown!
