Ontario Provincial Police in Perth County are warning residents to be wary of cryptocurrency scams after one person was defrauded of thousands of dollars.
The Perth County resident hasn’t been able to recoup US$6,500 after responding to an online cryptocurrency investment offer, police say.
Keep an eye on all bank accounts and credit cards, OPP advise, and watch for warning signs that may signal a scam.
“Always verify all contact information and don’t just call a number or email and address that some unknown person provides you with. The name on the caller display may be fraudulent. Give yourself some time to complete your own research,” Perth County OPP said.
Scams can be reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-800-495-8501.
