Public needs to be cautious when purchasing items online
Police want to remind local residents using Kijiji and other online shoppers’ sites to be careful when conducting transactions online to make sure they don’t become victims of fraud.
North Battleford RCMP Cpl. Jeff Carter said while he hasn’t received any recent local reports of scams on Kijiji targeting residents, he is aware of scams on Kijiji from around the country.
He advises the public to contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre if they have been defrauded.
The officer recommends people take heed of the old adage: If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
