Kijiji Purchase scam: The victim placed an ad on Kijiji and lists the price. He then received a response from an interested party and an agreement to purchase is made and the ad is removed from Kijiji. The cheque for payment was then shipped only to have the scammer email a short time later saying the office staff had made a clerical error and there was an overpayment on the cheque sent and asked the victim to cash the cheque and ship the scammer back the difference. At this point the victim became suspicious and contacted the police and the cheque was learned to be counterfeit. Had the cheque been cashed at the bank and the money sent the victim would have been at a loss for the item on Kijiji, the amount of the cheque and the difference sent back to the scammer.

Dating Scam: Brockville Police received a report yesterday from a person who engaged in conversation with a person they had met through a dating website. After exchanging messages on the dating site the scammer then asked for the complainant’s private email so they could have a “private conversation”. After exchanging a few emails the complainant went back to the dating website and found the person she was chatting with had removed their profile which the complainant found suspicious. The scammer continued the conversations saying they ran a home based business. When the complainant suggested the 2 meet in a public place the scammer always refused saying they had a business meeting. Eventually the scammer told the complainant they had to go away on a business trip to Ghana and would be in contact after arrival. After the arrival in Ghana, suddenly the scammer had a family emergency with their son and required money for surgery and asked the complainant to send money. The complainant, already suspicious then contact the police.

This scam is common in the area and has different variations of the same story. Meeting on a dating site and exchange personal information. The scammer will never agree to a personal face to face meeting, but may talk over Skype or Yahoo Messenger, and always has a business meeting as an excuse. The con artist will then claim to go away on a business trip and will claim an emergency that requires the victim to send money to get them home. DO NOT send money to someone you do not know and have never met in person.
