Fraud issues persist

North Bay Police
News Release

*******************

The North Bay Police is still getting complaints from citizens that they are negotiating with potential buyers on articles that they have for sale.

The potential buyer states they will send more money than necessary in the form of a fraudulent cheque or money order and that the seller need only take what they need for the article and then return the remainder of the money.

We are advising the public to be cautious and that it is the seller who is on the financial hook for any fraudulent cheque or money order and that to recover these funds would be extremely difficult.
