Police remind you to be on the lookout for fraud on Facebook

The Killaloe OPP is reminding you to be careful for fraud on Facebook after an incident on the Pikwakanagan Ontario First Nation.

Police say a resident received a notification that she’d won a Facebook contest, and lost $280 after paying to receive the prize.

You are being reminded that no legitimate contest will ask you to send money before you collect a prize. If you are the victim of fraud, police urge you to call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

Constable Catherine Yarmel also says you can find out more about fraud in Canada’s Competition Bureau’s Little Black Book of Scams.
