The Jounalist and the Grifter Orientation

For fifteen years, Ramona Rossi was untouchable—vanishing behind fake names, burner phones, and the fear she planted in the hearts of her victims. Seniors lost millions. She gained everything.


But when investigative journalist Janet Brown follows a thin trail into Edmonton’s casino underworld, the hunter becomes the hunted. What began as a story turns personal as Rossi strikes back—draining Janet’s accounts and closing in.


One con artist.

One reporter.

A showdown fifteen years in the making.


The Fifteen-Year Grift is a gripping thriller about power, fear, and the razor-thin line between truth and deception.




Definition of Grifter

A grifter is a person who engages in small-scale scams or cons to cheat people out of money or valuables.


They typically rely on deception, charm, and manipulation rather than violence. Examples of grifting include fake investment schemes, confidence tricks, romance scams, and staged emergencies.


Grifters often:


  • Pretend to be someone they’re not (e.g., a businessperson, expert, or friend in need).
  • Exploit people’s trust or emotions.
  • Work alone or in small groups.
  • Move quickly from one victim to another to avoid getting caught.

Prelude: The Caller and the Called Agnes Tremblay believed every voice carried a key. If you listened carefully enough, you could find the lock it opened — the door into another person’s life. At seventy-two, she had spent decades honing her ear, fine-tuning her pitch, and sharpening the stories she spun. She wasn’t the kind of scammer who blasted out hundreds of calls a day; she worked slowly, patiently — like a watchmaker aligning delicate gears. Her mornings were quiet. She rose early in her small bungalow on the outskirts of Trois-Rivières, fed her cat, and boiled water for tea. She read the newspaper not for the headlines but for the details buried in obituaries and local features — names of grandchildren, cities where they studied, hobbies that might give her an opening. From a single paragraph, she could sketch an entire fa...

Prologue

  The Fifteen-Year Grift: How One Woman Stole Millions From Canada’s Seniors By Janet Brown, Staff Reporter – The Globe and Mail Over the course of fifteen years, one woman defrauded Canadians—most of them seniors—of more than $5 million. Her name is Ramona Elizabeth Rossi, 45, the daughter of a once-prominent Edmonton restaurant family. She is now in police custody, facing multiple counts of fraud and identity theft. Rossi’s scams evolved with the times. In 2010, she began with the classic grandparent scam, phoning elderly victims and pretending to be a relative in sudden legal trouble, demanding thousands in bail money. By 2012, she was impersonating bank officials, urging seniors to transfer funds overseas “to help the RCMP catch hackers.” She later posed as a Canada Revenue Agency auditor, demanding gift cards to cover fabricated tax debts. In recent years, she infiltrated cell phone accounts, ordering devices in her victims’ names and reselling them for cash. Her s...
