Police Issue Internet Fraud Advisory
The Police have issued an internet fraud advisory reminding members of the public to be vigilant regarding internet fraud.
A Police spokesman said, “Once again the Bermuda Police Service would like to remind members of the public to be vigilant regarding internet fraud via online classifieds websites where items can be bought and sold.”
“If the person is not selling locally or if an overseas person requests to purchase items posted on a local online classifieds website be wary, as it may not be legitimate. Residents should not send any monies to unknown persons before receiving the goods.”
“In addition, if someone from overseas claims that they intend to purchase a product posted on a local classifieds website and sends more money than is necessary to the seller, the alleged purchaser’s intentions may not be genuine.”
