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 />
