GIFT CARD SCAM AND CRYPTOCURRENCY
On July 2, East Hants RCMP once again became aware of a gift card type scam in Enfield.
The complainant reported that her mother has been purchasing thousands of dollars worth of gift cards and providing her card information to an unknown person on the Internet.
Police say the person was now trying to have the woman purchase cryptocurrency.
The investigation continues.
East Hants RCMP wants to strongly discourage people from sending currency in any form to anyone that they don’t know personally over the Internet unless they can confirm that the business is legitimate.
No legitimate business, company or person would ever accept gift cards as payment.
If you feel that you have been a victim of a fraud or want to seek advice to determine whether or not someone is attempting to defraud you, please don’t hesitate to contact the East Hants RCMP or search the list of common scams located on the Canada Anti Fraud Centre website.
FAKE BELL SALESMAN
East Hants RCMP were notified July 3 that a fake Bell Canada representative had convinced a Belnan resident to provide him with her Social Insurance Number and driver’s licence information.
The salesman told the resident, a woman, that he was offering 40% off Bell services.
Police say she had a hunch that something wasn’t right, so she contacted Bell and they confirmed that it was a scam.
Although there are legitimate Bell representatives who call to try and sell their products, they will not ask for SIN or DL information from you.
