Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: The Chatham-Kent Police would like to remind citizens that scammers continue to call, email and text people stating that they’ve won a prize.
In order to claim the prize though, they need to pay a fee to cover taxes, legal fees or delivery costs.
Scammers usually ask that the payments are made using iTunes gift cards or bitcoin, which should immediately raise a red flag, that it’s a scam.
Please remember that if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
Protect yourself by recognizing these scams. For more information, please see https://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/index-eng.htm
