LOWER SACKVILLE<\/strong>: RCMP are issuing a warning to the public of an employment scam reported to the Halifax District RCMP in Lower Sackville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a release, police say on March 7 they received a complaint of an attempted fraud where a man received a cheque in relation to a job offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Police learned the man was contacted by fraudsters through a legitimate website where he had posted an employment profile. The fraudsters pretended to be a legitimate company offering him a job with a generous salary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”31″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”156″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n The man received a cheque for $89,000.00 in the mail and was asked to send some money back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The fraud was prevented when the man spoke with the company he believed was employing him and realized the cheque was fraudulent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Employment scams target those looking for jobs and offer what appears to be a perfect opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”34″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”148″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beware of those who ask you to send a cheque, send money back to them or ask you to deposit money into an account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scammers can be very persistent and convincing. Being defrauded is never the victim’s fault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have been defrauded, you are not alone. Please report it to your local police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n File #\u2019s: 22-26835<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”6″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”84″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”93″] [adrotate banner=”105″] LOWER SACKVILLE: RCMP are issuing a warning to the public of an employment scam reported to the Halifax District RCMP in Lower Sackville.
