The RCMP is encouraging people to protect themselves and vulnerable family or friends against fraud and scams. Cpl Jolene Garland says a number of various online and telephone scams remain in circulation, as well as local scams on buy and sell sites and reports of fraudulent credit card use. She says if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is. Be suspicious of “winning” a prize in a contest you never entered. Garland says police will never ask for money and while courts may ask for money, you need to pay in person. She says you never have to pay to claim a prize. Never send cash in the mail to people you don’t know. Garland says always be suspicious of “winning” a prize in a contest you never entered, and use reputable or first party websites when booking hotels or call the company directly.
