Kijiji Fraud
A Convay Crescent resident attended to the Brockville Police headquarters late yesterday afternoon to report that he has had 2 people show up at his residence in response to a Kijiji ad saying his house was for rent. He has lived in the residence for some time and he did not place the ad nor is his residence for rent.
At present he is not aware of anyone being victimized by this scam but wanted the incident reported to police in the event there are potential victims. The incident has been reported to Kijiji as a fraudulent ad who will take the ad down.
