Scams and Fraud

The Brockville Police Service would like to inform the community to be aware of scams and potential frauds this holiday season. Moving forward into the New Year, various scams become more frequent during the income tax period as well. Please be aware and protect yourself. 

First and foremost, there is no consumer protection when buying/selling products on sites like Kijiji, Craigslist, and Facebook Market Place. There is inherent risk to these types of transactions and is a ‘buyer beware’ situation. Once you enter into an agreement to purchase an item and a product/service is obtained, it is incumbent on you, either as a seller or buyer, to ensure that the transaction is complete. If not, this is a risk that is assumed by you.

As a purchaser/seller of goods you have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to avoid becoming the victim of a fraud. These include but are not limited to;

– Meeting in-person in a public location and thoroughly inspecting the product prior to offering to buy.

– Not purchasing a product without seeing first. Most importantly; this would include payment of first and last month’s rent without attending the property first.

– As a seller, that you do not accept cheques sent in the mail as payment. Cheques are becoming a frequent method and source of fraud.

– As a buyer, never send an e-transfer to an unknown individual.

– If a deal is too good to be true, then it most likely is. Use common sense to protect yourself from people who want to take advantage of you.
