RCMP remind community of Internet scams<br />
The RCMP are reminding<br />
the public to use<br />
caution when conducting<br />
business over the Internet,<br />
especially when buying<br />
and selling items via<br />
online classified ad sites.<br />
There are several different<br />
types of mass marketing<br />
frauds in operation<br />
throughout the province,<br />
and the one most recently<br />
reported to have occurred<br />
in the <strong>Watrous</strong> area is<br />
termed an ‘Overpayment<br />
Scam’. This particular<br />
fraud is any incident involving<br />
a consumer selling<br />
merchandise or a<br />
service and receiving a<br />
payment in the form of<br />
a counterfeit cashier’s<br />
cheque, personal cheque<br />
or corporate cheque from<br />
the “purchaser” in an<br />
amount in excess of the<br />
amount owed. The seller<br />
is then asked to deposit<br />
the cheque and send the<br />
excess funds immediately<br />
back to the purchaser or<br />
the purchaser’s agent or<br />
shipper by way of a commercial<br />
money transfer<br />
service or a financial institution’s<br />
on-line banking<br />
money transfer service.<br />
Eventually the deposited<br />
cheque is subsequently<br />
returned as counterfeit<br />
and charged back to the<br />
seller’s account.<br />
“As with most cyber<br />
crimes, it relies on the<br />
ability of an offender<br />
to remain anonymous”,<br />
says Cst. Diduck of the<br />
<strong>Watrous</strong> Detachment.<br />
“The uses of false and<br />
stolen identities, as well<br />
as jurisdictional issues,<br />
all affect our ability to<br />
identify a suspect.”<br />
The RCMP recommends<br />
people educate<br />
themselves as to the different<br />
types of frauds so<br />
they are better able to protect<br />
themselves and their<br />
money. Information can<br />

be found on the RCMP’s<br />
website www.rcmp.ca as<br />
well as at the Canadian<br />
Anti-Fraud Call <strong>Centre</strong><br />
(Phonebusters) website<br />
www.phonebusters.com<br />
There is no typical<br />
fraud victim and your<br />
risk of becoming a victim<br />
is not linked to your age,<br />
ethnicity, income or geographic<br />
location. Fraudsters<br />
do not care about<br />
any of that - they just<br />
want your money.<br />
