RCMP are asking people to protect themselves and vulnerable family or friends against fraud and scams. Recently, Deer Lake RCMP investigated the unauthorized use of a credit card where a number of unknown online purchases, to more than $11,000.00, were completed. The victim was a vulnerable elderly person. The investigation determined the identity of the suspect, who now faces a charge of unauthorized use of a credit card. The man is set to appear in court at a later date. Police say if you are a victim, contact police and financial institutions to report it at 1-888-495-8501. Police advise people to safely store financial information, credit cards, and passwords. Never accept cheques or money transfers from a person or business who you have not verified as legitimate and when shopping on Marketplace or Kijiji, never pay for merchandise before receiving it. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it is.
